By the Numbers: UFC Fight Night 119

Derek Brunson silenced the masses in Sao Paulo.

A counter left hand over the top and a flurry of follow-up punches from the North Carolina native brought an unceremonious end to Lyoto Machida’s Octagon return in the UFC Fight Night 119 “Machida vs. Brunson” headliner at Ibirapuera Gymnasium on Saturday night. Machida, who was competing for the first time since June 2015, has lost four of his last five UFC appearances.

Meanwhile, Colby Covington lived up to his pre-fight boasts and battered former title challenger Demian Maia in the evening’s co-main event, winning a clear-cut unanimous decision. After using his defensive wrestling to thwart Maia’s renowned ground game, Covington trashed Brazil and called out reigning champ Tyron Woodley, who authored a somewhat similar performance against Maia in July.

Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC Fight Night 119, with statistics courtesy of FightMetric.com.
