All-Time Rankings: Dan Henderson reaches a milestone

Posted on November 7, 2011 by Jason

Dan Henderson has recently become the first fighter to reach the Top 50 in three divisions: Heavyweight (#46), Light Heavyweight (#8), and Middleweight (#4). There are 46 fighters (including Dan) who are on two divisional Top 50s.

Norifumi Yamamoto is his closest, active competitor as he is in three Top 55s. A good streak at Bantamweight would see him join Dan. However Yamamoto is not in any Top 25 (or 30). Evan Tanner also shares Yamamoto’s feat, but is in a Top 25 @ Middleweight (#20).

When expanding to Top 60 as the qualifier, Jeremy Horn and Akihiro Gono make the cut. Expanding to Top 75 adds four more fighters (Vitor Belfort, Jeff Curran, BJ Penn, Anderson Silva).

The Ultimate Fighter 14, Episode 5 Review

Posted on October 20, 2011 by Oleg

In the fifth episode, Team Bisping finally put one up on the scoreboard when [#82 FW] Hamid ‘Akira’ Corassani defeated [NR] Dustin Neace by majority decision in a closely contested bout. The win was not without controversy, as Akira appeared to be tapping out when he was caught in a leg lock by Neace in the first round; however the referee didn’t call the submission and Corassani was able to escape the hold, proceeding to drop Dustin with a punch in the second round and narrowly taking the decision.

The current win tally is Team Miller 4, Team Bisping 1.

Stat of the Day: Non-UFC Pro Debut -> UFC

Posted on October 20, 2011 by Jason

MMAJunkie posted an article regarding Dustin Jacoby, who will go from his non-UFC pro debut to a UFC card in 11 months.

The quickest ever was Koji Kitao, who made his UFC debut at UFC 9, just 42 days after his non-UFC pro debut. Since 2000, the record belongs to Frank Mir, who did so in 111 days. Since 2010, John Salter just edges out Jacoby, having done so in 290 days.

Of course, this statistic excludes fighters like Matt Mitrione, who had the benefit of “The Ultimate Fighter”.
