- Demetrious Johnsons 12 takedowns landed against Moraga were the most ever in a UFC fight without a single failed attempt. - Johnson is one of two fighters in UFC history to record 10 or more takedowns in two separate bouts. The other is welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre. - Joseph Benavidez is one of four fighters in UFC history to earn two knockout victories stemming from body strikes (Rich Franklin, Melvin Guillard and Lineker). He is the only fighter to accomplish the feat in back-to-back fights. - Urijah Faber has earned 16 career submission victories, with 14 of them coming by rear-naked or guillotine choke. His 10 submission victories in UFC/WEC competition are tied with Nate Diaz for most in the modern era. Only Royce Gracie (11) has more in UFC/WEC history. - Chad Mendes is the only fighter in UFC featherweight history to record four straight knockout victories. He is just one of six fighters in UFC history to accomplish the feat. - Nik Lentz will fight on a UFC main card for the first time in his 13th appearance with the promotion. - Court McGee is one of two fighters in UFC history to land 100-plus significant strikes in a single fight in two separate weight classes. The other is Nam Phan. - Edson Barboza is the only fighter in UFC history to earn two knockouts stemming from leg kicks. |
