Carlos Prates has achieved several unprecedented UFC records in his first eight fights. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing the feat in eight bouts compared to nine for heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez. Only 2.29% of all UFC fighters (62 out of 2,710) have ever recorded seven knockouts. Prates also accumulated 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, the highest rate per 15 minutes of fight time in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average 15 fights required. The post describes this as one of the top three greatest eight-fight runs in UFC history and suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would surpass Jon Jones's legacy.
