Colby Covington backed up his talk in a big way at UFC on ESPN 5.

“Chaos” staked his claim to a welterweight title shot with a relentless 25-minute performance against Robbie Lawler in Saturday’s headliner at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, overwhelming his foe with volume on the feet and suffocating wrestling en route to a clear-cut unanimous decision triumph. As a result, Covington has won 10 of his 11 promotional appearances and now eyes a future showdown with reigning 170-pound king Kamaru Usman.

Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC on ESPN 5, with statistics courtesy of UFCStats.com.

179: Significant strikes landed by Covington, a career-best in UFC competition. By comparison, Lawler landed 78. “Chaos” outlanded his foe 26 to 5 in round two, 41 to 23 in round three, 51 to 22 in round four and 41 to 23 in round five. Lawler, meanwhile, held a slight 5-to-3 edge in the opening stanza.

515: Significant strikes attempted by Covington. His attempted output was far higher than that of Lawler, who only attempted 166 significant strikes.

10: Takedowns landed in 18 attempts for Covington, who took Lawler to the canvas seven times in the first two rounds. That checks in as the second-highest total of Covington’s UFC tenure behind the 12 he landed against Bryan Barberena at UFC on Fox 22 in December 2016. Lawler did not attempt a takedown in the fight.

7: Consecutive victories for Covington, tying him with Santiago Ponzinibbio and Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos for the third-longest active winning streak in the UFC’s welterweight division. Only Usman (10) and Leon Edwards (eight) have longer winning streaks at 170 pounds.

20: UFC victories for Jim Miller, who submitted Clay Guida with a guillotine choke 58 seconds into their co-headlining lightweight tilt. That ties him with Michael Bisping and Georges St. Pierre for third-most in promotion history. Only Donald Cerrone (23) and Demian Maia (21) have won more in the Octagon.

9: Career submission wins for Miller, tying him with Nate Diaz for the fourth-most in promotion history behind Charles Oliveira (13), Royce Gracie (10) and Maia (10).

12: Overall finishes in UFC competition for Miller, a total that ties him with Joe Lauzon for the most in the history of the lightweight division.

33: UFC appearances for Miller -- the most in promotion history. Guida has a similarly long tenure, as “The Carpenter” has walked to the Octagon on 28 different occasions.

9: KO/TKO triumphs among 11 professional victories for Nasrat Haqparast, who dispatched Joaquim Silva by knockout 36 seconds into round two of their featured lightweight clash. It was the first KO/TKO victory in UFC competition for the Tristar gym product, who had previously bested Thibault Gouti and Marc Diakiese via unanimous decision in the Octagon.

21: Submission triumphs among 29 professional victories for Gerald Meerschaert. The Roufusport representative added to his ledger with a third-round guillotine choke of Trevin Giles in a featured middleweight bout at UFC on ESPN 5 on Saturday. Meerschaert has now earned four wins via tapout within the Las Vegas-based promotion.

32: Significant leg strikes landed by Darko Stosic in a light heavyweight matchup with Kennedy Nzechukwu. By comparison, Nzechukwu landed just two. Stosic’s leg-kick heavy attack also resulted in multiple low blows and a pair of point deductions, which allowed Nzechukwu to come away with a unanimous decision triumph.

1:23: Time of Matt Schnell’s triangle choke of Jordan Espinosa, making it the second-fastest submission in the history of the UFC’s flyweight division.

1: Triangle choke submissions in the history of the 125-pound weight class. Schnell became the first flyweight in the Las Vegas-based promotion to finish a fight with the maneuver.

3: Consecutive triumphs for Schell, tying him with Joseph Benavidez for the second-longest active winning streak at flyweight behind only reigning champion Henry Cejudo (four).

5: Women in promotion history to earn a KO/TKO victory stemming from a knee strike. Lauren Murphy joined Cristiane Justino, Germaine de Randamie, Ronda Rousey and Cat Zingano as the only females in the UFC to accomplish the feat by virtue of her third-round stoppage of Mara Romero Borella in their flyweight scrap. Murphy dropped Borella with a knee before finishing her foe off with strikes on the mat at the 1:46 mark of the frame.

3: Consecutive submission victories for Claudio Henrique da Silva following his first-round rear-naked choke of Cole Williams in a preliminary welterweight clash. That ties him with Manny Bermudez and Nathaniel Wood for the longest active submission streak in the UFC.

30: Significant strikes by which da Silva outlanded Williams in the abbreviated bout. That included 23 significant strikes landed on the ground.

14: Straight victories overall for da Silva since losing his professional debut on Nov. 10, 2007. The 36-year-old Brazilian’s run includes five victories inside the Octagon.
