By the Numbers: UFC 300

On a historic night for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Alex Pereira ended the festivities in style.

“Poatan” retained his light heavyweight title in emphatic fashion, knocking out Jamahal Hill in the opening stanza of the UFC 300 headliner at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night. It’s the first successful light heavyweight defense for the former middleweight champion, and Pereira is already talking about a move to heavyweight in the very near future.

On a night filled with highlights and big names, there are plenty of facts and figures to review. Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC 300, with statistics courtesy of UFCStats.com.
