Record for least sig strikes in 5 round fight that went the distance.

[fortheo]

Was that record set last night?

This has to be a record, right?

107 sig strikes total between Woodley and Thompson II

85 sig strikes total between Maia and Woodley.

71 dog strikes between Silva and Maia

68 total between till and wonderboy


*edit* a superior list from BobsyaUncle has surfaced. Till and wonderboy are in good company!

As mentioned above, Maia/Shields (59).

Others that went under 68:

Henderson/Thomson (65)
Machida/Mousasi (64)
GSP/Hardy (63)
Sylvia/Monson (61)
Maia/LaFlare (61)
Johnson/Elliott (52)

And the lowest I've found is... Bader/St.Preux (48).

I'd argue till and wonderboy are worse than those fights in terms of inactivity, because all of those fights above had other action, such as grappling.

All's I know is that Thompson won.

 

[ortizgnp]

It was a complete shutdown, The Schaub style.

 

[ThePunisher]

I need to watch the fight again, because with the significant strikes that did connect (of which there weren't many), it seemed Thompson had more of them.

I guess with all things being equal (more or less), there is weight given to "Octagon control," And Till definitely controlled the geography of the fight.

Nah I may be wrong but I think it's maia woodley

Maia/Woodley was title fight record. Not overall record.

 

[Jokke]

Conor vs. Aldo was a 5 round match.

Maia/Woodley was title fight record. Not overall record.

I'm very curious to see if a fight that has gone all five rounds has less than 65 significant strikes (the amount in the Till wonderboy fight).

 

[frandie2b]

That was to be expected, everyone knew it was going to be boring, just watch Thompson's last 4 fights.

Oh and Till won.

Why the fck would you put yourself through another 25 mins of that shit. wonderboy landed cleaner, Till controlled the octagon, neither guy deserved to win

 

[fortheo]

Conor vs. Aldo was a 5 round match.

Edited my title for semantics sake.

[det_regnar_på_vår_kärlek]

I think the UFC has to set up Maia vs Wonderboy as a main event to see if those guys can break this record. Till vs Woodley is a real possibility, can't wait to see who's gonna stare harder.

lol then, how does a wrestler and jiu jitsu guy land more sig strikes then one of the best strikers in ufc history and till

 

[VVarhead]

That is fucking embarassing, honestly.

 

[SuperNerd]

Maybe the karate guys are harder to hit than wrestlers and BJJ guys, and the consequences of missing are much greater?

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

Maia and wood had more?........damn

 

[Danespina]

Woodley/Thompson 2 felt less active, I'm surprised by that stat.
