By the Numbers: UFC 210


It was a case of same opponent, same result for Daniel Cormier in his light heavyweight championship rematch with Anthony Johnson at UFC 210. Only this time, Cormier made sure his night ended a little earlier.

Cormier submitted “Rumble” with a rear-naked choke 3:37 into the second round of their headlining battle at the Keybank Center in Buffalo, N.Y., on Saturday night. In their first meeting at UFC 187, “DC” won via the same maneuver at the 2:39 mark of round three (online sportsbooks).

While Cormier can look ahead to future bouts against Jimi Manuwa and longtime rival Jon Jones, Johnson called it a career following his defeat. On a crazy night in the Empire State, there is plenty to review. Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC 210, with statistics courtesy of FightMetric.com.

63: Total strikes by which Cormier outlanded Johnson. In compiling an 85-to-22 advantage, “DC” outlanded his foe 32 to 16 in round one and 53 to 6 in round two.

.870: Significant striking accuracy for Cormier, who landed 36 of his 41 attempts. Johnson, meanwhile, landed 22 of his 36 significant strikes, a 61 percent clip.

29: Significant strikes to the head landed by Cormier. Johnson landed just six.

14: Significant ground strikes for Cormier. Johnson, meanwhile, did not land a single significant strike on the canvas.

21: Significant strikes in the clinch for Cormier. By comparison, Johnson landed 10.

1: Takedowns landed in two attempts by Cormier. Johnson, meanwhile, landed one of his three takedown tries.

5: Consecutive victories for Gegard Mousasi following his technical knockout triumph over Chris Weidman in the co-main event. That ties him with three others, including reigning champion Michael Bisping, for the second-longest active winning streak in the middleweight division. Yoel Romero is No. 1 with eight consecutive triumphs.

4: Consecutive finishes by Mousasi, tying him with three others for the second-longest active finishing streak in the promotion. Francis Ngannou owns the longest active streak with five straight finishes. In addition to Weidman, Mousasi has also finished Uriah Hall, Vitor Belfort and Thiago Santos during his current run.

36: Significant strikes by which Mousasi outlanded Weidman. That included a 28-to-3 edge in round two, when the Strikeforce veteran landed a pair of knees that brought a controversial ending to the bout at the 3:13 mark.

4: Takedowns landed in six attempts for Weidman. While the Serra-Longo Fight Team member was able to take his opponent down consistently, Mousasi did a good job of working from his back and scrambling back to his feet to limit his time spent on the canvas.

14: UFC welterweight triumphs for Thiago Alves, tying him for third most in promotion history. Only Georges St. Pierre (19) and Matt Hughes (16) have won more in the division. After an unsuccessful foray at lightweight, Alves returned to 170 pounds at UFC 210 to take a unanimous verdict over Patrick Cote.

2: Knockdowns landed by Alves, who floored Cote in the first and second rounds. That gives the American Top Team product 13 knockdowns in his UFC career, moving him into a tie with four others for No. 4 all-time.

9: Submission victories in UFC competition for Charles Oliveira, who tapped out former Bellator MMA champion Will Brooks 2:30 into the opening round of their lightweight bout. “Do Bronx” is now tied with Nate Diaz and Demian Maia for second-most submission victories in promotion history. Royce Gracie is No.1 with 10.

931: Days since Myles Jury’s last Octagon victory, a first-round stoppage of Takanori Gomi at UFC Fight Night 52 on Sept. 20, 2014. Jury returned from a 476-day hiatus on Saturday and ended a two-bout skid by stopping Mike de la Torre 3:30 into the opening stanza on Saturday night.

0: Significant strikes landed by de la Torre, who was taken down and had Jury attached to his back for the majority of their bout. Jury, meanwhile, battered his foe with punches and elbows to the tune of 36 significant strikes before the fight was halted.

5: Consecutive victories for Kamaru Usman following his dominant three-round triumph over Sean Strickland in a preliminary contest. That is the second-longest active winning streak in the UFC welterweight division behind only Demian Maia (six).

63: Significant strikes by which Usman outlanded Strickland in the one-sided affair. “The Nigerian Nightmare” also held a 117-to-30 advantage in total strikes landed.

34: Significant strikes to the legs landed by Charles Rosa against Shane Burgos, who landed just nine. However, a third-round push by Burgos resulted in a knockdown and a technical knockout victory in the featherweight scrap.

35: Significant strikes by which Patrick Cummins outlanded Jan Blachowicz in the second and third rounds combined in their light heavyweight bout. “Durkin” survived a rough first round in which he was knocked down and outlanded 31 to 16 in significant strikes to post a majority decision triumph. Cummins was at his best in round three, outlanding his foe by a 36-to-9 margin.

0:21: Time of Gregor Gillespie’s first-round technical knockout victory against Andrew Holbrook, making it the sixth-fastest KO/TKO victory in UFC lightweight history. The Top 5: Gray Maynard (0:09 vs. Joe Veres, UFC Fight Night 11), B.J. Penn (0:11 vs. Caol Uno, UFC 34); Rob Emerson (0:12 vs. Manny Gamburyan, UFC 87); Jens Pulver (0:15 vs. John Lewis, UFC 28) and Roger Huerta (0:19 vs. John Halverson, UFC 67).

189: Combined significant strikes landed by Katlyn Chookagian (105) and Irene Aldana (84) in their bantamweight clash. Chookagian outlanded her foe 25 to 17 in round one, 30 to 28 in round two and 50 to 39 in round three en route to a split decision triumph.

41: Significant strikes by which Magomed Bibulatov outlanded Jenel Lausa in their flyweight bout. The Russian prospect also held a 94-to-31 edge in total strikes landed.
