.....Demian Maia?!?!?!?!
This was a bit of a shock.

That's total strikes though, not significant strikes. Every weak arm punch on the ground counts in your total strikes stat.
 
Also he has been in the UFC for a long time. It all adds up.
 
Condit must be up there too maybe they will set a record tomorrow
 
These are active fighters only. Doesn't have GSP, for example.

Good point. GSP almost has twice as many strikes as Maia. That chart should read active UFC fighters.
 
This is why stats are misleading and therefore, pointless.

Maia probably lands 100 baby punches from the back per fight, doing absolutely nothing apart from trying to distract his opponent to sneak in a choke (which is fine, good game-plan, but its not really 'striking' is it?)
