By the Numbers: UFC 193



Holly Holm shocked the world.

Advertisement
In an upset that rivals Matt Serra’s shocker over Georges St. Pierre at UFC 69, Holm dispatched Ronda Rousey via second-round knockout to capture the bantamweight title at UFC 193 in Melbourne on Saturday night. “The Preacher’s Daughter” was in control throughout a contest that ranks as her most dominant UFC victory in three Octagon appearances.

Perhaps the most telling statistic to capture what transpired Down Under is not quantifiable, as it is impossible to truly measure the number of jaws that dropped when Holm ended Rousey’s reign with a high kick and follow-up punches 59 seconds into round two. Nonetheless, there are further facts and figures to examine on such a historical night. Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC 193, with statistics courtesy of FightMetric.com.

38: Significant strikes landed by Holm, the most of any Rousey foe over the course of an 11-bout UFC and Strikeforce tenure. The previous high came when Miesha Tate landed 24 significant strikes in a third-round submission loss to “Rowdy” at UFC 168.

9: Knockout victories in 38 professional boxing bouts for Holm.

1: Fighter to win titles in both the UFC and professional boxing. Holm became the first person to accomplish the feat with her shocking upset of Rousey.

220: Significant strikes landed by Joanna Jedrzejczyk in her unanimous decision triumph over Valerie Letourneau, the most ever in a championship fight. That figure is also the second-most ever in any UFC fight behind the 238 Nate Diaz landed in a three-round bout vs. Donald Cerrone at UFC 141.
