UFC in 2020: A ridiculously robust look at the stats, streaks, skids, and records

Check out a full recap of 2020’s most significant footnotes and milestones from the events, the fights and individual performances.

Now that the year has come to a close, and with a major assist from UFC research analyst and live statistics producers Michael Carroll, here are some of 2020’s most significant milestones from the events, the fights and individual performances.

Trevor Wittman gives an inside look at Kamaru Usman and Rose Namajunas leading up to UFC 251

Trevor Wittman launched a video series to give a behind-the-scenes look at Rose Namajunas and Kamaru Usman leading up to their UFC 251 wins.

It was a successful night at the office for head coach Trevor Wittman at UFC 251.

Wittman, who was in the corner of both his longtime student [autotag]Rose Namajunas[/autotag] and UFC welterweight champion [autotag]Kamaru Usman[/autotag] on July 11, launched a video series to give a behind-the-scenes look at both fighters leading up to their fights.

Former UFC strawweight champion Namajunas exacted her revenge against Jessica Andrade, who took the title away from her in a spectacular comeback win at UFC 237. Although Andrade made adjustments the second time around, Namajunas proved to be too fast and too technical for her.

Wittman was also in the corner of Usman, who headed to Colorado for his training camp when he was scheduled to face his Sanford MMA teammate Gilbert Burns. Burns ended up pulling out due to a positive COVID-19 test and was replaced by Jorge Masvidal. Usman defeated Masvidal in a one-sided unanimous decision, making Wittman 2-0 for the night.

Roman Bogatov released by UFC after repeated illegal blows in UFC 251 loss to Leonardo Santos

After committing numerous fouls in his unanimous decision loss to Leonardo Santos at UFC 251, Roman Bogatov has been released by the UFC.

[autotag]Roman Bogatov[/autotag]’s UFC stint was a short one.

Bogatov (10-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC), the former M-1 Global lightweight champion who signed with the UFC last November, was released by the promotion following his unanimous decision loss to Leonardo Santos at UFC 251 in Abu Dhabi.

MMA Junkie confirmed the news of Bogatov’s release following an initial report from Tass.

Things went south pretty quickly for the formerly unbeaten Russian, who was deducted two points after committing numerous fouls during the bout. After landing two low blows, Bogatov then struck a downed Santos in the head with an illegal knee, prompting referee Marc Goddard to issue the two-point sanction.

Bogatov went on to lose the fight by unanimous decision, 29-26 on all three judges’ scorecards, a fight he would have lost regardless of the point deductions.

Bogatov joins former UFC flyweight title challenger Ray Borg as the second fighter to be released by the UFC in the past week. Both fighters are yet to find a new home.

Jiri Prochazka targets October return, ready to rise to division’s toughest challenges

Jiri Prochazka made quite the splash in his UFC debut and he wants to keep the momentum going.

[autotag]Jiri Prochazka[/autotag] made quite the splash in his UFC debut and the big Czech is keen to keep the momentum going.

Prochazka (27-3-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) scored a spectacular second-round knockout of Volkan Oezdemir at UFC 251 in Abu Dhabi as he extended his win streak to 11.

The former Rizin FF light heavyweight champion drew a stern test on his octagon debut, but he passed that test with flying colors and now finds himself in the UFC’s light heavyweight top 10. Now Prochazka wants to keep leveling up his opponents, and says he’ll upgrade his performances to match.

“I’m very glad for that,” Prochazka told MMA Junkie. “That was a nice step from the UFC because after Rizin, I had so many fights and they give me very good opponents, but I like it. I’m very glad for that, because I need to challenge myself. I need to have tough opponents in front of me because my opponent will make my performance.”

Prochazka came out relatively unscathed and said he wants to return before the end of the year. He has no specific opponent in mind, but doesn’t see himself being too far away from a title shot.

“I think October will be a very nice month for fighting, something like that,” he said. “October, November, I wanna fight.”

He continued, “I don’t care (who I face next). In the light heavyweight division, every guy has a good style and I like them. I don’t care, I just want to go for the title, so I don’t care who they give me. I just want to show my skills, my power and my technique.”

Nobody has been able to figure out the puzzle of UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and Prochazka expects him to still be at the division’s summit when he eventually gets into title contention.

Jones’ decision wins against Thiago Santos and Dominick Reyes were much closer than his previous title defenses, with some observers scoring the fights to his opponents. But Prochazka says Jones’ less-dominant displays could be down to weariness, rather than the level of his opposition.

“I think he must be very tired,” Prochazka said. “Jon Jones must be very tired from defending the title. Still and still the champion, so I don’t know what’s his motivation to be the champion. Maybe I’m on the level to be on top, but I’m learning from fight to fight, and I need to fight one or two more fights and then I’ll feel more comfortable in the UFC. I need to feel at home in the fights, so I think one or two more fights and everything will be on the right way to the top.”

MMA Junkie’s ‘Fight of the Month’ for July: A rematch between former champs delivers

With another action-packed month of MMA in the books, MMA Junkie looks at the best fights from July 2020.

With another action-packed month in the books, MMA Junkie looks at the best fights from July 2020: Here are the five nominees, listed in chronological order, and winner of MMA Junkie’s “Fight of the Month” award for July.

At the bottom of the post, let us know if we got it right by voting on your choice.

* * * *

The Nominees

Rose Namajunas def. Jessica Andrade at UFC 251

[autotag]Rose Namajunas[/autotag] (9-4 MMA, 7-3 UFC) got the revenge she was looking for when she defeated fellow former UFC champion [autotag]Jessica Andrade[/autotag] (20-8 MMA, 11-6 UFC) in their anticipated rematch.

After Andrade took the strawweight title with a stunning slam knockout in May 2019, Namajunas emerged victorious in the rematch with a split decision win. She used superior footwork and striking to win the early portion of the fight, then resisted a late push from her Brazilian foe to secure the win.

Petr Yan def. Jose Aldo via punches at UFC 251

[autotag]Jose Aldo[/autotag] (28-6 MMA, 10-5 UFC) had moments when it looked like he might become a two-division UFC champion. But in the end, [autotag]Petr Yan[/autotag] (15-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) may have brought about a changing of the guard in the lighter weight classes.

Yan became the UFC’s new bantamweight champion with a fifth-round TKO of former featherweight champ Aldo. Yan used pinpoint striking and a dangerous overall assault to overcome the moments where Aldo looked like he could successfully turn back the clock and began a new arena in the 135-pound division.

Mounir Lazzez def. Abdul Razak Alhassan at UFC on ESPN 13

[autotag]Abdul Razak Alhassan[/autotag] (10-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) proved that after two years away he’s still one of the most exciting welterweights on the UFC roster. Newcomer [autotag]Mounir Lazzez[/autotag] (9-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) just managed to shine a little brighter, though.

Lazzez made his UFC debut as a relative unknown, but did not leave that way after beating Alhassan by unanimous decision. The pair threw down for 15 minutes, with Lazzez standing up to the trademark power of Alhassan and taking over to claim his first octagon win in the “Fight of the Night.”

Rafael Fiziev def. Marc Diakiese at UFC on ESPN+ 30

[autotag]Rafael Fiziev[/autotag] (8-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) showed how different striking levels can be when he outworked a well respected standup artist in [autotag]Marc Diakiese[/autotag] (14-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC) over 15 minutes of lightweight action.

Fiziev was one step ahead of Diakiese in his unanimous decision win, using techniques that were just a touch more effective than what his opponent brought to the table. In the end, both men took home an extra $50,000 for “Fight of the Night.”

Mauricio Rua def. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC on ESPN 14

[autotag]Mauricio Rua[/autotag] (27-11-1 MMA, 11-9-1 UFC) left no doubt he’s superior to [autotag]Antonio Rogerio Nogueira[/autotag] (23-10 MMA, 6-7 UFC) when he made it 3-0 over his longtime rival in their trilogy fight.

After “Shogun” picked up wins in the first two meetings in 2005 and 2015, Rua made it a clean series sweep over Nogueira with a split decision victory. They slugged it out in classic fashion, and although it seemed Nogueira might slide out with a win, the judges once again saw it for Rua.

* * * *

The Winner: Namajunas vs. Andrade

The rematch between Namajunas and Andrade was well worth the wait – for both Namajunas and the viewers who got to witness a tremendous scrap.

In their first meeting, at UFC 237, Andrade took the strawweight belt from Namajunas via a memorable, second-round knockout slam.

Fourteen months later, the duo met again. Namajunas put together two stellar rounds, then showed great heart in withstanding a furious third-round onslaught.

Namajunas, competing for the first time since losing the title, eked out a split decision victor with the better end of two of three 29-28 scorecards.

Andrade make clear from the jump she planned on pushing a strong pace, using fast movement to dart in and out. Namajunas, however, didn’t need much time to figure out her range, and she began using a pinpoint jab, crisp straight hands, and solid counters on the occasion Andrade manage to break through.

[lawrence-related id=535375,534306,534216]

This continued for the better part of two rounds, but Andrade might have the heaviest hands at 115 pounds, and she threw them, like with a wicked body shot in the second, she landed.

And then Andrade turned it on in the third. Andrade threw everything but the kitchen sink at her foe, leaving Namajunas with her nose cut open and her left eye nearly swollen shut. Things looked bad when Andrade landed a strong throw to take her opponent to the mat.

But Namajunas got back to her feet, gritted her way through the onslaught, and got to the final horn to seal the win.

“She went into desperation and started really unloading and she caught me a couple times, obviously,” Namajunas said. “But I just stayed strong.”

MMA Junkie’s ‘Submission of the Month’ for July: The nastiest kneebar ever?

With another action-packed month of MMA in the books, MMA Junkie looks at the best submission from July 2020.

With another action-packed month in the books, MMA Junkie looks at the best submissions from July 2020: Here are the five nominees, listed in chronological order, and winner of MMA Junkie’s “Submission of the Month” award for July.

At the bottom of the post, let us know if we got it right by voting for your choice.

* * * *

The Nominees

Makwan Amirkhani def. Danny Henry at UFC 251

[autotag]Makwan Amirkhani[/autotag] (15-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) has scored another submission victory in the UFC featherweight division against Danny Henry (12-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC) — and he earned some points for good sportsmanship, too.

Amirkhani submitted Henry with his signature move, the anaconda choke. Amirkhani wasted little time finishing his opponent. Then he wasted even less time bringing him back to consciousness, as Amirkhani immediately helped officials raise Henry’s legs to bring back the blood flow back toward his head.

Ariane Lipski def. Luana Carolina at UFC on ESPN+ 30

[autotag]Ariane Lipski[/autotag] (13-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC) promised to bring back the “Queen of Violence” against Luana Carolina (6-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC), and that’s exactly what happened when she finished the women’s flyweight fight in the first round.

Lipski secured one of the nastiest kneebar finishes in UFC history against Carolina, doing so from a rather precarious position. They got tangle up on the mat and Lipski grabbed the leg of her opponent and pulled it in an awkward direction, forcing a screaming tap-out from Carolina.

Jack Hermansson def. Kelvin Gastelum at UFC on ESPN+ 30

[autotag]Jack Hermansson[/autotag] (21-5 MMA, 8-3 UFC) pulled off one of the biggest wins of his career when he submitted Kelvin Gastelum (16-6 MMA, 10-6 UFC) in a high-stakes middleweight bout.

Hermansson need just 78 seconds to lock in a tight heel hook on Gastelum and finish the fight. A clinch exchange early in the fight saw Gastelum end up on top. Hermansson’s didn’t just a small opening to make his move, though, and latched onto the submission that Gastelum couldn’t escape from without giving up.

Deiveson Figueiredo def. Joseph Benavidez at UFC on ESPN+ 30

[autotag]Deiveson Figueiredo[/autotag] (19-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) left no doubt he’s the top flyweight currently competing in the UFC when he obliterated Joseph Benavidez (28-7 MMA, 15-5 UFC) in the first round, this time officially claiming the UFC title.

Figueiredo missed weight for the first meeting and did not get a belt despite getting a knockout. He dropped Benavidez with strikes multiple times in the rematch, but was fishing for the submission. Figueiredo finally locked on a rear-naked choke that could not be escaped, and Benavidez was submitted for the first time in his career.

Fabricio Werdum def. Alexander Gustafsson at UFC on ESPN 14

43-year-old [autotag]Fabricio Werdum[/autotag] (24-9-1 MMA, 12-6 UFC) showed he can still get the job done at a high level on the mat, as he spoiled the heavyweight debut of Alexander Gustafsson (18-7 MMA, 10-7 UFC).

The former UFC champ only needed one opening to take the fight to the mat, and when he did, it was game over. Werdum got into position for an armbar on Gustafsson, who fought mightily for roughly one minute. He could only resist Werdum’s jiu-jitsu prowess for so long, though, and eventfully the tap came.

* * * *

The Winner: Ariane Lipski

[jwplayer 5LSVxvjB-RbnemIYZ]

Human knees are not meant to bend in the direction Carolina found her left knee going into against Lipski.

Lipski, an impressive competitor out of Brazil, saw an opening in a grappling exchange, straightened the leg out, and leaned all the way back, causing Carolina to tap at the 1:38 mark of the opening round in their UFC on ESPN+ 30 main card bout at Flash Forum on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

That marked both the seventh first-round finish in Lipski’s career, and the second-fastest submission victory in UFC women’s flyweight history.

“She was trying to take my neck,” Lipski said in her post-fight interview. “I have trained this sub before then I pushed her leg and I was pretty sure it was working.”

Video: Jorge Masvidal cuts 20 pounds in six days for UFC 251

When Jorge Masvidal answered the call on short notice for the UFC 251 headliner, he had a big weight cut ahead of him.

When [autotag]Jorge Masvidal[/autotag] answered the call for the UFC 251 headliner, he had a big weight cut ahead of him.

Masvidal (35-14 MMA, 12-7 UFC) saved the day by stepping in on short notice to face welterweight champion Kamaru Usman (17-1 MMA, 12-0 UFC), but losing a unanimous decision in the July 11 headliner at Flash Forum at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, but he had only six days to cut 20 pounds.

There were a few hurdles to overcome for Masvidal, who had to travel to Las Vegas first to get tested for COVID-19, then make his way to “Fight Island.” Circumstances weren’t ideal, but Masvidal had no doubt in his mind that he’d make the weight.

Masvidal is no stranger to strenuous weight cuts, having had to dig deep on numerous occasions to make the lightweight limit. But “Gamebred” has never missed weight in his entire career and wasn’t about to for his first ever UFC title shot, as he successfully made the 170-pound mark at the UFC 251 weigh-ins.

[lawrence-related id=537528,536038,535160]

Things may have not gone Masvidal’s way on the night, but with his addition, the event became that much bigger. The numbers show it, with UFC 251 reportedly selling 1.3 million pay-per-view buys, proving that Masvidal has become one of the biggest draws in the company.

A few weeks after his fight with Usman, Masvidal provided an in-depth look at his weight cut courtesy of his YouTube channel.

Check out the video above.

Triple Take: Who had the most memorable moment over three UFC events in seven days?

After 36 UFC fights in eight days, which winner on “Fight Island” delivered the most memorable performance? Our MMA Junkie writers debate.

This past Saturday concluded a marathon of UFC action that included three events in seven days on “Fight Island” at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. From UFC 251 to UFC on ESPN 13 to UFC on ESPN+ 30, a total of 36 fights unfolded over from July 11 to July 18, and there’s a lot to digest from that time.

There were memorable performances delivered in championship bouts, matchups between contenders and fighters making their debuts. Which effort left the strongest lasting impression, though? MMA Junkie’s Farah Hannoun, John Morgan and Simon Head debate in the latest edition of Triple Take.

* * * *

Farah Hannoun: Deiveson Figueiredo

Deiveson Figueiredo

[autotag]Deiveson Figueiredo[/autotag]’s performance against Joseph Benavidez at UFC on ESPN+ 30 will go down as one of the most dominant championship wins in UFC history.

Few imagined Figueiredo (19-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) would be able to run through Benavidez like that, dropping him three times and becoming the first man to ever submit him. While Figueiredo did stop Benavidez in Round 2 of their first fight, it was a competitive battle where Benavidez was able to win the first round.

Though Benavidez has never won a UFC title, he’s been a staple in the 125-pound division, taking out just about every flyweight on the roster, including a decision win over former UFC dual-champ Henry Cejudo. But Figueiredo was a man on a mission that night and wanted to erase the notion that he only won the first fight because of an inadvertent head butt.

There are several 125-pounders chomping at the bit to get their crack at the title, but Figueiredo looked like an unstoppable force that may rule the division for a very long time.

Colby Covington: Jorge Masvidal got exposed in ‘boring’ loss to Kamaru Usman

“He hit lightning in a bottle, but just we found out what everyone knew. He’s not a well-rounded fighter, he got exposed.”

[autotag]Colby Covington[/autotag] wasn’t surprised by the outcome of UFC 251’s main event.

Welterweight champion [autotag]Kamaru Usman[/autotag] retained his title in a unanimous decision win over [autotag]Jorge Masvidal[/autotag] last weekend, after Usman was able to use his grappling to dominate most of the bout.

Covington (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC), who’s familiar with both men, had a vested interest in the fight, but was ultimately disappointed at the lackluster affair. He predicted Usman was going to win and didn’t think Masvidal would be able to handle the wrestling exchanges.

“I wanted to watch, but then I feel asleep,” Covington told MMA Junkie. “It was so boring, it was a hug-fest and they were playing footsie the whole time. That wasn’t a real fight. ‘Marty Fakenewsman’s’ stock went way down in that fight. He’s definitely the most boring fighter in the history of the UFC and we found out just what I said the whole time, ‘Street Judas’ Masvidal is all hype. He had his 15 seconds of fame, his 15 seconds of fame are up. He hit lightning in a bottle, but just we found out what everyone knew. He’s not a well-rounded fighter, he got exposed.

[lawrence-related id=536156,536014,535204]

“It’s pathetic that he’s out there asking for a rematch. He lost every round, dude you got destroyed. I won three rounds off ‘Marty Fakenewsman,’ you’re not on my level Jorge and you know that. Deep down inside, you could say whatever you want to the media and talk all that (expletive) before, guess what (expletive), I’m not at American Top Team no more, we could do this anytime.”

With both Covington and Masvidal (35-14 MMA, 12-7 UFC) coming off of losses to Usman and campaigning for another crack at the champion, a fight between the two seems the logical next move.

But at the UFC 251 post-fight press conference, Masvidal said he wasn’t interested in fighting Covington, citing the fact that Covington was stopped in his loss to Usman, while Masvidal went the distance on just six days’ notice.

Instead, Covington has been offered a fight with former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley on Aug. 22, but with Woodley asking for more time, the timetable will likely get pushed back to September or October.

There’s plenty of history between Covington and Woodley, but there’s even more between Covington and Masvidal. The latter duo spent eight years as main sparring partners at ATT and even lived together.

But things turned sour as best friends turned into rivals, with Covington eventually departing ATT.

Covington vs. Masvidal would be one of the most marketable fights the UFC could make, with plenty of footage online of both from their early days at ATT.

And Covington would be willing to face him next, but doesn’t think Masvidal would take the fight, claiming that he used to get the best of him every time in practice.

“If he ducks me so hard that he refuses to fight me and he just runs away, it just shows how he’s all hype,” Covington said. “He’s got 15 losses on his record. He’s a true definition of a journeyman in this sport. He’s always been the Robin to my Batman. He’s always been the JV to my varsity. It doesn’t have to happen because if it doesn’t happen, frankly, the fans and the people will know why it didn’t happen because he was scared and he didn’t want it to happen. So I would love for it to happen, it’s an easy fight. I would expose him.

“It would be a lot more entertaining. That last fight, that was the most boring fight of all time with ‘Marty Fakenewsman’ so if I get in there, he’ll never be the same person again and he knows that deep down. We sparred a lot of rounds for eight years. You can go on YouTube and look at the last time we fought. We fought in our living room, we used to live together so we fought every chance we got and he never won one second of those fights. They were pretty violent, I left him unconscious face down a couple of times.”

UFC 251 medical suspensions: Kamaru Usman facing longer sit than Jorge Masvidal

Kamaru Usman won at UFC 251, but he didn’t walk away unscathed.

[autotag]Kamaru Usman[/autotag] won at UFC 251, but he didn’t walk away unscathed.

Retaining his title against challenger [autotag]Jorge Masvidal[/autotag] in the pay-per-view headliner, Usman (17-1 MMA, 12-0 UFC) received a longer medical suspension than his opponent.

On Friday, MMA Junkie obtained the full list from MixedMartialArts.com, the ABC’s official recordkeeper. Fighters can return sooner than the duration of their suspension if cleared by a doctor.

According to the list, Usman suffered a potentially broken nose during the 25-minute duration of his unanimous decision victory. The injury could mean he’ll need to take 180 days off in between fights.

As for Masvidal (35-13 MMA, 12-6 UFC), “Gamebred” received a much shorter suspension: 30 days off due to a facial laceration.

UFC featherweight champion [autotag]Alexander Volkanovski[/autotag], former UFC featherweight champion [autotag]Max Holloway[/autotag], and UFC bantamweight champion [autotag]Petr Yan[/autotag] all received 30-day suspensions, while former UFC featherweight champion [autotag]Jose Aldo[/autotag] received a mandatory TKO-loss suspension of 45 days.

UFC 251 took place Saturday at the Flash Forum on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. The main card streamed on pay-per-view after prelims simulcasted on ESPN and ESPN+.
