Charles Oliveira is no longer lightweight champion, but that didn’t stop him from mowing down Justin Gaethje on Saturday night.
Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC 274, with statistics courtesy of UFCStats.com.
21: Career UFC triumphs for Oliveira, which ranks fifth in promotion history behind Andrei Arlovski (23), Jim Miller (23), Donald Cerrone (22) and Demian Maia (22).
16: Career submission triumphs for Oliveira, who added to his all-time record with his tapout of Gaethje on Saturday night.
11: Consecutive victories for Oliveira. Since he missed weight by 0.5 pounds, the Brazilian’s latest effort doesn’t technically count toward his streak at 155 pounds.
51: Combined significant strikes landed by Oliveira (30) and Gaethje (21) in 3:22 of Octagon time. Both men were credited with a knockdown in the abbreviated bout.
67: Combined significant strikes landed by Carla Esparza (30) and Rose Namajunas (37) in their strawweight title fight in the evening’s co-main event. That’s the eighth-lowest combined total for a championship bout in UFC history. Esparza edged Namajunas by split decision to recapture the strawweight crown she initially won in December 2014.
380: Championship bouts in UFC history where a fighter has attempted at least 50 significant strikes. Esparza landed 30 of 133 attempts for a 22.6 percent accuracy to rank 363rd out of that group, while Namajunas landed 37 of 136 attempts for 27.2 percent to rank 343rd.
2: Takedowns landed in 11 attempts by Esparza, who successfully landed both of her takedowns in Round 4.
0:22: Total control time enjoyed by Esparza, who was unable to keep Namajunas on the ground for any signficant period after her two successful takedowns.
10: Career strawweight victories for Esparza, tying her with former champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk for the most in the history of the division.
2,703: Days since Esparza defeated Namajunas via third-round submission at “The Ultimate Fighter 20” finale to become the promotion’s inaugural 115-pound champion. She would relinquish the belt to Jedrzejczyk one bout later at UFC 185.
9: Front kick knockouts in UFC history. Michael Chandler authored perhaps the most memorable entry of this group when he rendered Tony Ferguson unconscious with the maneuver 17 seconds into Round 2 of their featured lightweight tilt.
14: Career victories at light heavyweight for Ovince St. Preux, who improved to 2-0 against Mauricio Rua with a split-decision triumph over “Shogun.” That total ranks fifth in the history of the division behind Jon Jones (20), Chuck Liddell (16), Glover Teixeira (16) and Ryan Bader (15).

36: Significant body strikes, out of 63 total, landing by St. Preux, who reddened his opponents midsection with a steady diet of kicks to that area. By comparison, Rua landed 11 significant body strikes.
43: Age of Francisco Trinaldo, making him the second oldest fighter on the UFC roster. The Brazilian, who turns 44 in August, proved age is just a number as he improved to 2-1 in the promotion’s welterweight division with a unanimous decision triumph over Danny Roberts in the evening’s featured preliminary bout.

6: Consecutive UFC bouts to go the distance for Blagoy Ivanov, who defeated Marcos Rogerio de Lima to earn a unanimous verdict in a preliminary heavyweight contest on Saturday night. Ivanov’s last finish came in a first-round TKO of Shawn Jordan at World Series of Fighting 35 on March 18, 2017.
