Olivier Aubin-Mercier will get a crack at a second straight life-altering $1 million payday when his Professional Fighters League lightweight final against Clay Collard headlines the 2023 PFL Championships on Friday at The Anthem in Washington, D.C. The season-ending event features five other tournament finals, all of them with seven-figure prizes attached.

As PFL 10 “Aubin-Mercier vs. Collard” approaches, a look at some of the numbers the featured fighters on the bill bring to the table:

61: Rounds started by Aubin-Mercier as a professional mixed martial artist. The Tristar Gym rep has gone the distance on 13 different occasions and carries an 8-5 record in those bouts.

9: First-round finishes to Collard’s credit. However, he has not added to his total since he wiped out Lucas Montoya with punches in 3:30 at a SteelFist Fight Night show on March 22, 2019.

11: Denis Goltsov wins by submission, accounting for 34% of his career total (32). His methods of choice: two Ezekiel chokes, two armbars, two triangle chokes, one straight armbar, one guillotine choke, one kimura, one brabo choke and one arm-triangle choke. Goltsov faces Renan Ferreira in the five-round heavyweight final.

85: Inches of reach for Ferreira. It provides the monstrous 6-foot-8 Brazilian with a seven-inch advantage against Goltsov.

68: Total strikes by which Larissa Pacheco has outlanded the opposition during her current nine-fight winning streak. The former Jungle Fight champion has connected 303 times while absorbing only 235 shots in return. Pacheco takes on Marina Mokhnatkina in the five-round women’s featherweight final.

18: Takedown attempts from Mokhnatkina in her six PFL appearances. She has completed 11 of them for a 61% success rate.

5,321: Miles between where Sadibou Sy was born in Stockholm and where he now trains at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas. “The Swedish Denzel Washington” draws Magomed Magomedkerimov in the five-round welterweight final.

13: Magomedkerimov victories by knockout or technical knockout, accounting for 39% of his career total (33). His list of PFL victims: David Zawada, Ben Egli, Dilano Taylor and Bojan Velickovic.

5: Men other than Joshua Silveira who have held the undisputed Legacy Fighting Alliance championship at 205 pounds. The list: Ryan Spann, Julius Anglickas, Alex Polizzi, Fabio Cherant and Bruno Lopes. Silveira tackles Impa Kasanganay in the five-round light heavyweight final.

118: Seconds needed for Kasanganay to subdue Roger Pratcher with a rear-naked choke under the King of the Cage banner on May 11, 2019. More than four years later, it remains his fastest finish to date.

1,618: Days spent by Kayla Harrison as an undefeated mixed martial artist. The two-time Olympic gold medalist made her pro debut at PFL 2 on June 21, 2018 and started 15-0 before losing a five-round unanimous decision to Pacheco at PFL 10 on Nov. 25, 2022. Harrison returns to the cage opposite Aspen Ladd in a 150-pound catchweight attraction.

2: Main-event assignments for Ladd across her seven appearances in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The Folsom, California, native lost both, as she succumbed to punches from Germaine de Randamie in 16 seconds at UFC Fight Night 155 and dropped a unanimous decision to Norma Dumont at UFC Fight Night 195.

39: Years of age for Derek Brunson. The oldest fighter on the card, he was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, on Jan. 4, 1984. Brunson confronts Ray Cooper III in a three-round middleweight appetizer.

7: Sub-minute stoppages on the Cooper resume, with two of them having taken place in the PFL. He buried Pavel Kusch with punches in 18 seconds at PFL 6 on Aug. 16, 2018 and put away Brett Cooper with knee strikes and follow-up punches in 24 seconds at PFL 6 on July 1, 2022.

25: Years of age for Gabriel Braga. The youngest fighter on the card, he was born on April 24, 1998 in Rio de Janeiro. Braga meets Jesus Pinedo in the five-round featherweight final.

10: Organizations for which Pinedo has plied his MMA trade, and he does not have a losing record in any of them. He has gone 6-2 in Inka Fighting Championship, 6-1 in 300 Sparta, 2-1 in the PFL, 2-1 in Arena Tour, 1-0-1 in Peru Fighting Championship, 1-1 in the UFC, 1-0 in Redemption Fighters, 1-0 in Extreme MMA, 1-0 in Iquitos Combat Championship and 1-0 in Arena Global.

.780: Cumulative winning percentage between the 24 fighters scheduled to compete at the event. They boast a combined record of 388-108-4. Magomedkerimov owns the most wins (33) of anyone on the card, while Collard and Chris Wade have been saddled with the most losses (10). Wade rematches Bubba Jenkins in a three-round featherweight prelim.
