Technical Difficulties

Posted on April 28, 2012 by Jason

Last week’s rankings were inadvertently cleared out, so we put a temporary set in it’s place. On our next update, we’ll clear this temporary one out and replace it with the official one that will show movement from last weekend’s.

PS – The weekend update will include the MMA Attack show in its entirety.

Prospect Profile: Alexander Sarnavskiy

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Jason

If you’ve been paying attention to our MMA Records & Statistics page, you already know that Alexander Sarnavskiy holds the current record for most career wins without a loss — 18.

Some facts about Sarnavskiy:

Currently ranked #62 in the Lightweight division. He’s come ever so close to getting into the Top 50.
He’s only 23 years old and is averaging almost 6 fights per year.
His last five opponents average a pre-fight record of 10-5, which is actually pretty good. For comparison sake, Khabib Nurmagomedov, his near equal, is at 8-5 and this includes his UFC debut.

Jon Jones and his opposition strength/win streak

Posted on April 16, 2012 by Jason

He’s already put himself within elite company, but with a win over Rashad Evans, his previous four wins will be:

Mauricio Rua – Quinton Jackson – Lyoto Machida – Rashad Evans

All four were highly ranked at the time of the fight AND all four are within the Top 10 Light Heavyweights of all-time. This may likely be the most impressive four-fight win streak in history.

Notable Elite 4+ Win Streaks

Georges St. Pierre (Josh Koscheck-Matt Hughes-Matt Serra-Jon Fitch-B.J.Penn-Thiago Alves-Dan Hardy-Josh Koscheck-Jake Shields)

Chuck Liddell (Randy Couture-Jeremy Horn-Randy Couture-Renato Sobral-Tito Ortiz)

Dominick Cruz (Joseph Benavidez-Brian Bowles-Joseph Benavidez-Scott Jorgensen-Urijah Faber)
