    Default UFC 202 by the numbers




    The sequel was even better than the original.

    Conor McGregor avenged a March loss to Nate Diaz in an epic rematch in the UFC 202 headliner at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night, capturing a hard-fought majority decision triumph. It wasn’t the customary McGregor victory, however, as he started quickly, then weathered a relentless Diaz to find a second wind down the stretch.

    With such a memorable five-round clash comes plenty of facts and figures to review. Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC 202, with statistics courtesy of FightMetric.com.

    330: Combined significant strikes landed by McGregor (166) and Diaz (164), the second most significant strikes landed by two fighters in a UFC bout. The most? Diaz and Donald Cerrone combined to land 334 significant strikes at UFC 141.

    252: Total strikes landed by Diaz. By comparison, McGregor landed 197. Diaz outlanded his foe 51 to 36 in round two, 79 to 37 in round three and 49 to 34 in round five. McGregor, meanwhile, outlanded Diaz 34 to 25 in round one and 56 to 48 in round four.

    This fight is top 3 best fights in the UFCs' history ,,, McGregor impressed !!
    Both fighters gave and took punishment, but McGregor entered the octogon 20 pounds heavier
    than his usual weight, which is what makes the win impressive.
