Anthony Smith silenced the partisan crowd at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, and in the process, moved past a disheartening championship defeat.

In a battle of the last two light heavyweight title challengers, “Lionheart” submitted Alexander Gustafsson with a rear-naked choke at the 2:38 mark of round four in the UFC Stockholm headliner on Saturday. Smith has won four of five since moving to 205 pounds, with his only setback coming at the hands of reigning champion Jon Jones. Gustafsson, meanwhile, left his gloves in the Octagon, perhaps signaling the end of a memorable career if the decision holds once the initial disappointment of defeat has subsided.

Here is a by the numbers look at UFC Fight Night 153, with statistics courtesy of UFCStats.com.

4: Finishes since 2018 for Smith, the most in the light heavyweight division during that time. In addition to Gustafsson, “Lionheart” has also put away Rashad Evans, Mauricio Rua and Volkan Oezdemir inside the distance.

29: Victories by knockout, technical knockout or submission among 32 professional victories for Smith. In compiling a 32-14 career mark, Smith has gone to the judges just four times overall.

72: Significant strikes landed by Gustafsson. By comparison, Smith landed 49. Gustafsson held a notable 38-to-15 edge in significant strikes landed in the third frame.

38: Significant leg strikes landed by Gustaffson. Smith, meanwhile, landed 19.

2-2: Gustafsson’s record in UFC bouts in Sweden. “The Mauler” also suffered a devastating first-round TKO defeat at the hands of Anthony Johnson in the UFC on Fox 14 headliner in January 2015. He owns wins over Glover Teixeiera and Thiago Silva on home soil.

4: Consecutive victories for Aleksandar Rakic, currently the second-longest active winning streak in the UFC’s light heavyweight division behind only Dominick Reyes. Rakic authored a “Knockout of the Year” contender with a head kick finish of Jimi Manuwa in the co-main event.

3-5: Record for Manuwa since 2014. Four of those five defeats have come by knockout or technical knockout — including Saturday’s defeat to Rakic. “Poster Boy” began his pro tenure with 14 straight triumphs.

2: Consecutive first-round KO/TKO victories for Rakic, who dispatched Devin Clark in the opening stanza at UFC 231. Rakic needed just two significant strikes to put away Manuwa.

3: UFC victories for Makwan Amirkhani in which he has landed less than 10 significant strikes. “Mr. Finland” landed just nine significant strikes before submitting Chris Fishgold with an anaconda choke 4:25 into the second frame of their featherweight tilt. Amirkhani landed 0 significant strikes in a win over Masio Fullen at UFC Fight Night 69 and six in a triumph against Andy Ogle at UFC on Fox 14.

7: Victories via anaconda choke from 2017 to the present. That represents a significant increase in a short timeframe, as only 11 bouts were finished by the maneuver from 1993 to 2016.

6: Takedowns landed in 13 attempts by Christos Giagos in a three-round verdict over Damir Hadzovic at lightweight. Giagos has now landed 11 takedowns in his last two wins in the Octagon over Mizuto Hirota and now, Hadzovic.

44: Significant strikes by which Lina Lansberg outlanded former Invicta FC bantamweight queen Tonya Evinger in a lopsided unanimous decision victory. That included a 29-to-1 advantage in the final stanza.

151: Total strikes landed by Lansberg. “Elbow Queen” outlanded her foe 51 to 6 in round one, 21 to 16 in round two and 79 to 46 in round three.

0-3: UFC record for Evinger, who debuted in the Octagon with a stoppage loss to Cristiane Justino in a featherweight title bout at UFC 214. Evinger entered the Las Vegas-based promotion unbeaten in her previous 11 professional bouts.

5: Consecutive victories for Leonardo Santos, tying him with Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira for the fifth-longest active winning streak in the UFC’s lightweight division. Santos scored a first-round knockout of Steven Ray in a preliminary bout on Saturday.

966: Days since Santos’ last Octagon appearance, a split-decision triumph against Adriano Martins at UFC 204 on Oct. 8, 2016.

100: Significant strikes landed by Frank Camacho in a second-round technical knockout victory over Nick Hein. That total included 68 significant head strikes, 30 to the body and two to the legs. By comparison, Hein landed 37 significant strikes.

20: Significant strike advantage (35 to 15) for Duda Santana in the opening stanza of her bantamweight matchup with Bea Malecki. Malecki rallied to submit her foe with a rear-naked choke at the 1:59 mark of the second stanza.
