The Stats for Bisping-Leben
With UFC 89 in the rear-view mirror, we turn our attention to UFC 90, less than a week away. But before we shift completely, here are the stats for the main event fight between Michael Bisping and Chris Leben. Stand-up striking battles are notoriously difficult to judge. It's very hard for judges to keep track of who landed what and how many. People get swayed by just a few strikes here or there without even knowing it. Check out what the stats had to say and see if it meshes with what you remember.UPDATE: Check out our article at FanHouse for a more detailed analysis of these stats.
Getting Ready for UFC 89
The new Featured Content space on the homepage is now full of new content leading up to UFC 89. Check out:Michael Bisping vs. Rashad Evans for the fight that made Bisping drop down a weight class. The stats tell a pretty good story; Bisping outstruck Evans handily, but couldn't avoid the six takedowns.Chris Leben vs. Patrick Cote for a prototypical Leben fight against a more technical striker. Instead of brawling, Leben pinned Cote against the fence and attacked with short shots in the clinch and on the ground. It's a style you might see again against Bisping. Chris Leben vs. Kalib Starnes because there actually was a time when Starnes was a respected UFC middleweight.Keith Jardine vs. Wilson Gouveia is a nice piece of history because, to date, it's the UFC fight with the highest total leg kicks landed between the two fighters.Brandon Vera Career TPR Report charts the ups and recent downs of the once highly-touted Vera.And remember, you can access the full archive of FightMetric reports on our new central reports page found here.
Site Upgrades
Those home page issues we mentioned a while back forced us to do something we should have done a long time ago. You'll notice that the homepage is now a lot cleaner and the full list of fights scored has moved to a secondary page found here:http://www.fightmetric.com/fightreports.htmlThis should make the navigation on the full archive page a lot easier, as we've alphabetized the reports by the winning fighter. We hope that this change will make it easier for you to find the fights that you're looking for and should make it easier for us to put only the most relevant materials on the home page. Stay tuned for next week, when we'll use that space on the home page to feature some reports from the fighters participating in UFC 89 and 90.
