By the Numbers: UFC Fight Night Las Vegas

Rose Namajunas isn’t the girl you thought you knew from “The Ultimate Fighter 20.”

In the most complete performance of her career to date, “Thug” Rose dominated Paige VanZant for five plus rounds before submitting the gritty Team Alpha Male member with a rear-naked choke 2:25 into the final stanza in the UFC Fight Night Las Vegas headliner on Thursday night.

That VanZant was able to endure for as long as she did spoke volumes about her resolve, but it was Namajunas who produced most of the eye-popping figures in the fight. Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC Fight Night “Namajunas vs. VanZant,” with statistics courtesy of FightMetric.com.

57: Significant strikes landed by Namajunas, compared to just 10 for VanZant. The Grudge Training Center product also held a 104-to-53 edge in total strikes landed.

The strawweights landed three significant strikes apiece in the fifth frame.

14: Guard passes executed by Namajunas, who effortlessly transitioned from one dominant position to another throughout the bout.

4: Submission attempts for Namajunas, including the fight-ending choke. The “TUF 20” veteran appeared to have VanZant on the verge of a tapout on a number of occasions, only to see her opponent somehow escape the finish until the fifth round.

Momentum shifted from there, ultimately leading to a Northcutt guillotine choke triumph 41 seconds into round two.
