By The Numbers: UFC 314 Pre-Fight Edition


Ilia Topuria’s relocation plan opened the door for Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes, as they will lock horns for the vacant Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight crown in the UFC 314 headliner on Saturday at the Kaseya Center in Miami. Meanwhile, Michael Chandler confronts Paddy Pimblett in the five-round co-main event at 155 pounds.

Ahead of UFC 314 “Volkanovski vs. Lopes,” a look at some of the numbers the fighters on the docket bring to the table:

1,367: Significant strikes landed by Volkanovski as a UFC featherweight, placing him third on the promotion’s all-time list at 145 pounds. Only Max Holloway (2,971) and Cub Swanson (1,557) have connected with more.

12: Lopes wins by knockout or technical knockout, accounting for 46% of his career total (26). His list of UFC victims: Sodiq Yusuff and Pat Sabatini.

1,229: Days spent by Chandler as undisputed Bellator MMA lightweight champion. He held the company’s 155-pound title from Nov. 19, 2011 to Nov. 2, 2013, from June 24, 2016 to June 24, 2017 and from Dec. 14, 2018 to May 11, 2019.

1: Sub-minute stoppage on the Pimblett resume. The ex-Cage Warriors Fighting Championship titleholder put away Jack Drabble with punches just 21 seconds into their pairing under the Olympian MMA Championships banner in November 2013.

450,000: Dollars in post-fight bonuses banked by Yair Rodriguez across his 15 appearances in the UFC. “The Ultimate Fighter Latin America” Season 1 winner has been awarded “Fight of the Night” five times and “Performance of the Night” four times. Rodriquez awaits former two-division Bellator champion Patricio Freire in a three-round featherweight showcase.

111: Rounds started by Freire as a professional mixed martial artist. “Pitbull” has gone the distance on 16 different occasions and carries a 12-4 record in those bouts.

60: Takedowns attempted by Bryce Mitchell as a member of the UFC roster. “The Ultimate Fighter 27” semifinalist has completed 26 of them, giving him a modest 43% success rate. Mitchell toes the line against surging Dana White’s Contender Series graduate Jean Silva in a three-round featherweight feature.

15: Seconds needed for Silva to punch out Lorenzo Rodrigues at an Aspera Fighting Championship show on Nov. 19, 2016. More than eight years later, it remains his fastest finish to date.

16: Nikita Krylov victories by submission, accounting for 53% of his career total (30). His methods of choice: six rear-naked chokes, three guillotine chokes, two Achilles locks, two kimuras, one armbar, one keylock and one triangle choke. The onetime Fight Nights Global champion faces Dominick Reyes in a three-round light heavyweight appetizer.

5: Organizations for which Reyes has plied his mixed martial arts trade. In addition to the UFC, he has suited up for King of the Cage, Gladiator Challenge, Legacy Fighting Alliance and Hoosier Fight Club.

41: Years of age for Jim Miller. The oldest fighter on the card, he was born on Aug. 30, 1983 in Sparta, New Jersey. Miller meets Chase Hooper—who happens to be the youngest fighter on the card—in a three-round lightweight prelim. Hooper, 25, was born on Sept. 13, 1999 in Enumclaw, Washington. He was 6 when Miller made his pro debut.

.781: Cumulative winning percentage between the 26 fighters scheduled to compete at the event. They sport a combined record of 498-139-2. Miller has the most wins (38) and losses (18) of anyone on the card.
