Crossed into the heaviest third of head strikes eaten for their age in June 2005, 55 head strikes before that night. Never-yet-stopped fighters carrying that kind of mileage took a first KO in 11.0% of fights; the lightest third ran 15.6%.

UFC debut. No tape.

Only 17 fighters on record in the two years to 2005 at Light Heavyweight, too few to rank anyone against. The rates are real, the ranking would not be.
