Carlos Prates has achieved multiple historic milestones in UFC competition. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, doing so in just eight fights compared to nine for the nearest competitors, heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez. Prates also recorded 14 knockdowns in the fastest time ever, accomplishing this in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses faster than any fighter, requiring only eight fights while others averaged 15 bouts. The post describes Prates' eight-fight run as one of the top three most spectacular stretches in UFC history, noting he knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been finished before. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would match or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
