Carlos Prates has established multiple UFC records in just eight fights, demonstrating one of the most dominant debuts in promotional history. He is the fastest fighter ever to reach seven knockout victories in the UFC, accomplishing the feat in eight bouts compared to nine for heavyweights Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez. Prates also holds the record for most knockdowns in the shortest time span, with 14 knockdowns in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest knockdown rate per 15 minutes in UFC history. Additionally, he became the fastest to earn seven Performance of the Night bonuses, requiring only eight fights compared to the average of 15. The post notes that Prates has knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been finished before, including ending one with leg kicks. The analysis suggests that if Islam Makhachev defeats Ian Garry, Prates, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, he would match or surpass Jon Jones' legacy.
