This the third time Holland has got 5 fights in one year with UFC?

I wonder if 2026 will be the year someone does 6 fights in one calendar year!

Win or lose props to Holland!!! And wow, waldo almost had a 5-0

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Holy shit. 11.5% of the roster fought at least three times? That's a key stat, good work, TS

Thats not much. Only a few fights thrice a year!

Then you have entitled sherdoggerrssss:
" This weight class is doomed! (Insert champion name) only fights once or twice a year!"

I think second after 2020.

Neil Magny was another interesting one. He didn't have his first fight until August and still managed 3.

I take my hat off to the guys that fight 3 and 4+ times a year. I'm sick of these professional vacationers like Covington, Jones etc. who only fight once every 18 months to 3 years.
