UFC 231 goes down in Toronto this Saturday headlined by two must-see title fights in the lower weight classes. Max Holloway puts his 12-fight win streak on the line against an undefeated Brian Ortega while Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Valentina Shevchenko look to transition their kickboxing rivalry into the UFC’s Octagon.
Barring any last-second injuries or hospitalizations, an impressive 9-of-13 fights have good data. While it would’ve been fun to nerd-breakdown more, I’ll be focusing on the main and co-main events.
Remember, what you’re about to read are not official UFC statistics. They’re alternative stats generated from official statistics designed to (1) give more weight to the recent present than the distant past and (2) not let one huge or horrible performance dominate the data.
