The first half of 2013 is complete, and the UFC surged into the second half this past weekend with UFC 162.
Before moving forward with the latter six months of this year, let’s take a look back at what we’ve seen so far in 2013 and see how it stacks up to 2012 in its entirety.
Is the UFC on track to have as good a year in 2013 as it did in 2012? Are pay-per-view numbers up, or are they trending the wrong way?
We’ll take a look at what went down in 2012 compared to how 2013 is trending for the UFC in terms of fights, stoppages, championship headliners, and buyrates.
Note: Only events from the first six months of 2013 are included in this analysis, meaning UFC 161 is not.
