GSP is the man

crocop is the man!

yeah but the Perosh fight totally distorts that stat, he must have defended 20 takedowns in that fight.

anyways whats a significant strike??

GSP has 1 knockdown for every 110 significant strikes he lands

That is pretty mad,before seeing those stats,I would of put money on some of the little guys being at the top of that list.
I'm sure that will change when some of the WEC guys like Aldo and Hominck all get 5 or more fights under there belts in the UFC.

With all that running away Machida uses, he still doesnt earn the tag of most elusive fighter in UFC


Spratt FTW !

Thanks for these Payne, some of those are interesting.

I was surprised Nate has the thrird highest take down offence % in the UFC. Makes you wonder why he decided to become an average striker instead.

GSP FTW

Thanks for the interesting read.

Really surprised Saunders is Top 10 in TDD especially after his last 2 fights in the UFC against Fitch & Hallman.

I really hope Saunders comes back to the UFC, Hallman was a bad loss but I think he is worth keeping aroud because his standup is as good as there is in there devision. Put him in with someone like Hardy and he will make a fight of it.

To be honest I'd rather see Saunders in Strikeforce I think there are far better match ups for him there I feel he would be a better fit.

But by the same token, Cheick Kongo is 5th......

surely gsp has to be one of the longest average fight leaders? he always goes 5rds!

actually just worked it out, GSP averages 12min 46secs per fight over his 18 fights. I take it back!

thanks for posting there very interesting

Kongo actually has fairly solid take downs, he's a big, strong bloke and he has a back ground in Greco-Roman. He took Velasquez down a lot easier than Lesnar did. Kongo's problem has always been take down defense. He can't stop a take down unless he cheats.

sureley lesnar fight with randy puts takedown strikes top he hit something like 27364 2 inch strikes in 2 seconds lol.
