Ultimate Stats

Ever wondered how many fights have actually taken place inside the Octagon? How about how many fighters have been knocked out, tapped out, or beaten down for a decision? From 1993 to just last month at the historic UFC 129, I present to you "Ultimate Stats: Trending from UFC 1-129". I went through every single fight in UFC history to find the percentages of all the outcomes - knockouts, submissions, decisions, draws, disqualifications, and no contests. After reading this you will have the cold hard facts. Are decisions really on the rise or are people overreacting? You'll find out as you read along. Which outcome has occurred most often in the UFC? What about the least often? You'll know that too. Without further ado, after many painstaking hours of going through fight cards, I present to you the data compiled from every fight in UFC history.
