By the Numbers: UFC 172

---

At 26 years old, Jon Jones has yet to reach his prime. That should be a scary thought for anyone who witnessed the light heavyweight champion’s five-round domination of Glover Teixeira in the UFC 172 headliner at the Baltimore Arena on Saturday night.

“Bones” showcased his usual diverse arsenal in taking a unanimous decision over Teixeira, but he was perhaps most effective in close quarters, where he battered the Brazilian with a barrage of punches and elbows against the fence. While the challenger was resilient enough to make it to the judges, he was unable to put together enough offense to consistently threaten the Jackson-Wink MMA product. Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC 172, with statistics courtesy of FightMetric.com.

138: Significant strikes landed by Jones, which surpasses his previous career best of 134 against Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 165. By comparison, Teixeira landed 53 significant strikes. Jones outlanded his opponent 23 to 13 in round one, 25 to 9 in round two, 35 to 12 in round three, 31 to 9 in round four and 24 to 10 in round five.

92: Head strikes landed by Jones. Teixeira landed 42.

57: Total clinch strikes landed by Jones. By comparison, Teixeira landed 35.

3,318: Days since Teixeira’s last defeat, a unanimous decision loss to Ed Herman at SportFight 9 “Respect” on March 26, 2005. Teixeira had won 20 straight fights prior to Saturday’s loss.

While Vallie-Flagg held a 211-153 advantage in total strikes, “The Fireball Kid” had a 130-107 edge in significant strikes. Landing the more damaging shots proved to be the difference, as Gomi won via unanimous decision.
