“The Black Beast” became the promotion’s all-time knockout king at UFC Fight Night 199, where he stopped Chris Daukaus via KO 3:36 into the opening stanza of their heavyweight headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Lewis bounced back from an interim title loss to Ciryl Gane in August to end Daukaus’ five-bout promotional winning streak in the process.
Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC Fight Night 199, with statistics courtesy of UFCStats.com.
13: KO/TKO victories in UFC competition for Lewis, who passed Vitor Belfort and Matt Brown for No. 1 in promotion history, regardless of weight class.
17: UFC wins for Lewis, No. 2 in heavyweight history behind only Andrei Arlovksi (21).
8: Career knockdowns for Lewis, moving him into a tie with Frank Mir, Pat Barry and Francis Ngannou for No. 9 in UFC heavyweight history.
10: Finishes at UFC Fight Night 199, tied for the third most in modern promotion history.
7: Fight unbeaten streak for Belal Muhammad, the third-longest in the UFC’s welterweight division behind only Kamaru Usman (15) and Leon Edwards (10). The only blemish on Muhammad’s record during that stretch is a no contest against Edwards at UFC Fight Night 187.
120: Total strike advantage for Muhammad. The Chicago native outlanded Thompson by a 171 to 51 count in total strikes over the course of their 15-minute affair.
7: Takedowns landed in nine attempts for Muhammad, a UFC career best and the most of anyone on the UFC Fight Night 199 card. “Remember The Name” also logged 11:52 of control time compared to 52 seconds for Thompson.
5: Consecutive victories for Amanda Lemos, tying her with Carla Esparza and Tatiana Suarez for the longest active winning streak in the UFC’s strawweight division. Lemos took a split decision over Angela Hill in a featured bout on Saturday.
0-4: Record in bouts that go to split decision for Hill. Her four split-decision defeats tie her with Jorge Masvidal, Clay Guida and Paul Felder for the most in UFC history. In all four of those bouts — losses to Lemos, Michelle Waterson, Claudia Gadelha and Cortney Casey — the majority of MMA media scorecards tracked by MMADecisions.com favored Hill.
18: Victories in UFC/WEC competition for Cub Swanson, tying him with Jose Aldo and Max Holloway for most in featherweight history. Swanson dispatched Darren Elkins via technical knockout 2:12 into the opening round of their 145-pound scrap on the UFC Fight Night 199 main card.
3,374: Days since Swanson’s last first-round finish. That, interestingly enough, came against current UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira at UFC 152 on Sept. 22, 2012.
