The main event of UFC 159 result was clear.
UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones easily put away Chael Sonnen in the main event of Saturday’s card in front of the New Jersey crowd, earning a first-round technical knockout.
Unlike the last main event, which featured UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson and then-top contender Gilbert Melendez, this one was as clear-cut as they come, thanks to the fact Jones would”t let the fight escape the first.
He earned a late first-round submission, all the while struggling with a disgusting broken toe.
Still, it’s worth looking through FightMetric‘s numbers on the event.
Jones was 20 of 27 for his significant strikes, while Sonnen scored just six of 15. Furthermore, Sonnen landed 38 of 51 strikes, compared to Jones’ 35:43 ratio.
Furthermore, Sonnen had a zero percent success rate in takedowns, completely due to the fact that he attempted none.
Meanwhile, Jones held a takedown ratio of 1:2, earning three of the six takedowns attempted in the fight.
Unforunately, those are the only stats for the main event, considering Jones didn’t give FightMetric much to work with. As the numbers suggest, the end came quickly, sending Jon Jones deep into the pound-for-pound elite.
There are few fighters who can put forth a performance like this one: one which includes a very limited amount of statistics.
