A bunch of new, interesting stuff on the site today:
1. The full fight stats for Kimbo Slice vs. James Thompson. As anyone who watched the fight would know, the stats put Thompson ahead by quite a bit at the time of the stoppage. FightMetric had Thompson winning both of the first two rounds, the second one by a wide margin. When the fight ended, Thompson had outpointed Kimbo by more than 100 points.
2. The fight report on the fight between Matt Hughes and Renato “Charuto” Verissimo. The controversy about this decision got a rebirth thanks to a column by Josh Gross a little while ago. This is one of those fights for which the stats are pretty inconclusive. With two rounds scored as draws and the extreme rarity by which judges call 10-10 rounds, it’s easy to see how this could be scored either way.
3. The career report for Matt Hughes. Or, more accurately, the UFC career report for Matt Hughes. The report contains 18 of Hughes’ 19 UFC matches. It doesn’t seem like his first match (a decision win over Valeri Ignatov at UFC 22) has any video. While Hughes has looked pretty vulnerable in his last few fights, it’s important to remember how dominant he was. Keep an eye out for an analysis of the careers of Hughes and Georges St. Pierre. The UFC likes to describe Hughes as “the most dominant welterweight of all time.” No one doubts that he was. Is he still?
But that will have to wait. We will be taking a vacation starting tomorrow; no email, no TV, no pay-per-view. So coverage of UFC 85 will be delayed about a week. In the meantime, enjoy!
