The stats are up for the main event fight between Quinton Jackson and Keith Jardine, but that's not all there is to this post. The previous post asked what kinds of reports people were interested in, if not the most timely information. The comments received were much-appreciated, and the most frequently requested thing was to focus more on the most controversial bouts, even if the fight or fighters were no long relevant. This is interesting because it's exactly how we started the FightMetric project, putting out reports on only the most hotly-contested decisions in MMA history.
One commenter rightly pointed out that our focus seems to be entirely on UFC matches, at the expense of other organizations. That would be correct. We are currently engaged in wrapping-up Phase II of the FightMetric project, which involves compiling data on every fight in modern UFC history. Until that's finished (and it'll be sooner than you might expect), we can't divert our attention away from that goal. I don't think it would surprise anyone that the commercial appeal of UFC data is far greater than the appeal for data from all other organizations combined.
So our more specific question is: What UFC fights would you like to see stats for? Take a look at the current offerings and then leave your requests in a comment. Anything besides Rutten-Randleman?
Again, apologies for this, we will get to all of the others in due time, but for now, consider this request to be UFC only.
