The UFC brings its tentpole shows back to Vegas tomorrow when Zuffa-undefeated welterweight champion Kamaru Usman headlines UFC 258 against challenger Gilbert Burns who hasn’t lost since moving up to welterweight in 2019 and most recently cruised to a 50-45/44 victory over former champ Tyron Woodley.
As former training partners, these two should be intimately familiar with each other’s games. So let’s get more familiar with the statistical sides of their games as we jump into the numbers.
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.
