Issue 116

July 2014

Powerful percentages and show-stopping stats from MMA’s past month.

52

Thiago Alves landed 52 leg kicks on Seth Baczynski at UFC on Fox 11 in April – good enough for a UFC three-round record.

30lb

Cris ‘Cyborg’ says she weighs 165lb with 4% body fat out of competition, which is 30lb above where she plans to fight UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.

5

The five takedowns Tim Kennedy scored on Michael Bisping in April were the most the British striker has suffered in nearly seven years. Matt Hamill took him down on six occasions at UFC 75 in September ‘07.

8.5"

Jon Jones had an eight-and-a-half inch reach advantage over Glover Teixeira at UFC 172 – not that he needed it much. ‘Bones’ battered the Brazilian in the clinch for most of the latter stages of the fight.

7.09

Khabib Nurmagomedov’s six takedowns against Rafael Dos Anjos at UFC on Fox 11 in April improved his average to 7.09 takedowns landed per 15 minutes. That’s the best in UFC history.

14

The UFC will visit a record number of countries in one year in 2014. It has completed or provisionally booked dates in 14 nations already: New Zealand, Mexico, China, United States, England, Canada, Sweden, Turkey, Brazil, Germany, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Japan and Ireland.
