An article of facts about tonight's UFC Fight Night 30: Machida vs. Munoz in Manchester, England.

There are a total of 40 facts in the full article, but here are the ones that are best/most interesting, in my opinion of course.

- Lyoto Machida leaves the 205-pound weight class with 2:58:54 of total fight time, which ranks third in UFC history behind Rashad Evans and Tito Ortiz.

- Mark Munoz averages 9.63 takedown attempts per 15 minutes of fighting, the highest average among active middleweights and fourth highest in middleweight history (minimum of five UFC fights). His 66 takedown attempts at middleweight are the third most in the division's history.

- Melvin Guillard's 11 UFC lightweight victories are tied with Jim Miller for the second most in organizational history. Gleison Tibau leads the category with 13.

- Guillard's seven lightweight knockout victories are the most in UFC history.

- Ross Pearson has landed 98 percent of his significant strikes while on his feet, either at distance or in the clinch. That's the fourth largest proportion of standing strikes in lightweight history (minimum of 350 attempts).

- Jimi Manuwa has won three consecutive fights at the 5:00 mark of a round.

Wow, who would've thought Tibau has an unheard milestone in the UFC.
 
It's weird to have a stat like Tibau's winning record, but never really being close to a title shot.
