Media Most significant head strikes absorbed in UFC history.

[Pious Augustus]

1 and 3-10 i can understand since they all have a million miles on them but Max being at #2 is absolutely terrifying, hes only 29 in December ffs.

All of them fought at lw except for 1

 

[KarateYeah]

Man Donald Cerrone needs to learn how to save money. That ranch ain’t gonna mean shit if you don’t know where the hell you are because of CTE.

Man the worst part is he doesn't need it. He's got a trust fund from like his grandparents or something. He never needed to fight but he said he wanted to earn his own money too

 

[PlayTheGame]

Max is gonna hold that #1 spot for a while in the future.

He probably still got a dozen good fights in him while all the others are either retired or on their way out.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Those 5 round losses against Usman, Covington, Edwards, and Ferguson must’ve added a lot. Eddie swarming him with a standing tko couldn’t have helped either.

He took alot of blows in the ferg fight thats for sure.

A lot of those strikes can come from the ground strikes.

I don’t think you can judge someone’s defense based on this stat alone. He was in a ton of decision fights incl. multiple 5-rounders.

Would be nice to know strikes per minute / per round to better assess it

Yeah RDA has had tons of fights so it's not as bad as his placement would suggest. 815 strikes/29 fights is only about 28 per fight. A couple of his five rounders probably inflated his numbers quite a bit

 

[IvanEmelianenko]

Cerrone already has CTE.

He thinks a draw and a loss is the same thing.

 

[Johnnny]

RDA at 6 surprised be. I knew his defense isn't great but I don't remember him getting hit all that much

He is 3rd all time in time spent in the octagon: 6 hr 28 min 11 sec

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

What's worse, 800 strikes absorbed over 10 fights or 800 absorbed over 20 fights?

It ain't rocket surgery

now lets think about total strikes every absorbed in the head between training-fights

if 815 is just what's happened in the fight, what is the real number outside the ring?
100x?
400x?

Oh God if we're going to estimate sparring then all of them would be well over 20000

what’s worse 800 strikes or 800 strikes

that’s still 800 strikes

sound logic, bud

 

[aroptedi]

815*2000= 1.63m

1.63m/365 = 4,465 strikes to the head if 1 year

4465/20 = 223 strikes to the head a day over a 20 year career

 

[Bearknuckle]

No heavyweights

Lol come on now man, I know math isn't a sherbro speciality but I'm sure you should have an issue busting out a calculator and seeing the significant difference in strikes absorbed per fight

 

[vinnie245]

No heavyweights

Most likely because Heavyweight fights rarely go the full 3/5 rounds and 1 punch usually does the job rather than constant flurries.

1.63m/365 = 4,465 strikes to the head if 1 year

4465/20 = 223 strikes to the head a day over a 20 year career

Well you'd have to take a lot of that out due to mandatory rest after fights, voluntary rest, lay offs due to injuries, and training days with no sparring

It'd be hard to find a fighter with a number less than 50,000

 

[Shoguns Prodigy**]

I wonder which fighter has taken the most significant punches in a single ufc fight.

 

[Bangkok ready d1]

Max is one of the better boxers. He rolls with a lot of those punches anyways and they graze his head.

Thats true though, its definitly not a healthy amount of head shots he's taken but there is a difference between the shots max takes and the shots cerrone takes

 

[Sweater of AV]

what’s worse 800 strikes or 800 strikes

that’s still 800 strikes

It's worse if you're already concussed and continuing to take damage. The probability of that happening is higher if you're absorbing those strikes in a smaller time window.

 

[Bangkok ready d1]

I wonder which fighter has taken the most significant punches in a single ufc fight.

I belive it was joanna or welli zang in their fight, for men's im pretty sure it was ortega

 

[runjay]

you guys are nuts
