UFC Fight Night 30 Preview: 40 Pre-Fight Facts For 'Machida vs. Munoz'

Any time the UFC brings its product into an international market, the card is often littered with talent from the host country. And a majority of the time, the success of those fighters is a major storyline going into and coming out of the event.

Brazilians have absolutely dominated on their home soil in the UFC while Canadians seem to win roughly half their fights when the UFC travels north of the American border. This Saturday, the organization heads overseas to England for the 13th time for "UFC Fight Night 30: Machida vs. Munoz," a card which features a strong contingent of local fighters, both familiar and new.

English fighters sit somewhere in between Brazilians and Canadians. To date fighters from the country own a 35-25 record against foreign opposition when competing on their home turf. Eight fights are scheduled for the card that will add to the tally, so the gap has the potential to narrow or significantly widen.

One fight that does not consist of any English fighters, though, is the main event, which sees former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida (19-4 MMA, 11-4 UFC) drop to the middleweight division for the first time in his career. He faces Mark Munoz (13-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC).

The matchup will have an impact on the landscape of the 185-pound weight class, which outside of a championship bout, is the most you can ask for from a UFC main event.

With the event quickly approaching and lots on the line for all 24 fighters, let's take a few minutes (with thanks to FightMetric) to review some event-related facts about UFC Fight Night 30.

MAIN EVENT



Machida makes his middleweight debut after competing as a light heavyweight in his first 23 professional fights.

Machida leaves the 205-pound weight class with 2:58:54 of total fight time, which ranks third in UFC history behind Rashad Evans and Tito Ortiz.

Machida's 11 knockdowns landed in his light heavyweight career were the second most in UFC divisional history behind Chuck Liddell (14).

Machida's 65 percent takedown accuracy in the light heavyweight division ranks first in UFC history. Machida's 81.8 percent takedown defense rate is third in divisional history.

Machida absorbs just 1.41 significant strikes per minute; the third best rate in light heavyweight history (minimum of five UFC fights).

Machida is 2-3 in UFC main event fights.

Munoz has landed 46.8 percent of his significant strikes on the ground, the second largest proportion in UFC middleweight history. Chael Sonnen leads the category at 52.3 percent (minimum of 350 significant ground strikes attempted).

Munoz landed 52 significant ground strikes against Tim Boestch at UFC 162, which is the third most ever landed in a UFC middleweight contest. His 160 significant ground strikes landed in his UFC career are the third most in 185-pound history.

Munoz averages 9.63 takedown attempts per 15 minutes of fighting, the highest average among active middleweights and fourth highest in middleweight history (minimum of five UFC fights). His 66 takedown attempts at middleweight are the third most in the division's history.

CO-MAIN EVENT



Melvin Guillard (31-12-2 MMA, 12-8 UFC) will compete in his 21st UFC fight, tying Chris Leben for the eighth most UFC appearances by any fighter in history.

melvin-guillard-26.jpgGuillard's 11 UFC lightweight victories are tied with Jim Miller for the second most in organizational history. Gleison Tibau leads the category with 13.

Guillard's seven lightweight knockout victories are the most in UFC history.

Guillard's 13 career knockdowns are the most in lightweight history and rank third all-time in UFC history behind Liddell (14) and Anderson Silva (17).

Guillard's average fight time of 6:49 is the fourth shortest in UFC lightweight history.

Ross Pearson (15-6 MMA, 7-3 UFC) is 2-0 since returning to the UFC lightweight division.

Pearson has out-landed his opponent in total strikes in all seven of his UFC victories. Pearson's 4.28 strikes landed per minute rank sixth in lightweight history.

Pearson's 71.8 percent significant strike defense rate is tied with Frankie Edgar for the third highest all-time in UFC lightweight history.

Pearson has landed 98 percent of his significant strikes while on his feet, either at distance or in the clinch. That's the fourth largest proportion of standing strikes in lightweight history (minimum of 350 attempts).

REMAINING MAIN CARD

Jimi Manuwa (13-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) is undefeated with all of his career victories coming by knockout or submission, 10 in the first round.

Manuwa has won three consecutive fights at the 5:00 mark of a round.

Ryan Jimmo's (18-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) seven-second knockout of Anthony Perosh at UFC 149 is the fastest in UFC light heavyweight history.

Jon Tuck (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) competes for the first time since defeating Tiequan Zhang in his octagon debut at UFC on FUEL TV 6 in November 2012.

Alessio Sakara (15-10 MMA, 6-7 UFC) enters the event on a career-worst three-fight losing streak.

Sakara owns six career UFC victories; however, only one comes against a fighter currently signed to the organization's roster (Thales Leites).

Sakara's average fight time of 5:11 is the second shortest among active UFC fighters with a minimum of five UFC fights. Erick Silva leads the category (4:59).

Sakara completed nine takedowns in his light heavyweight bout against Elvis Sinocic at UFC 57, a number tied for the second most in 205-pound history. In 12 subsequent UFC appearances, "Legionarius" has completed one takedown in just three attempts.

John Lineker's (22-6 MMA, 3-1 UFC) three-fight UFC winning streak is tied with Joseph Benavidez for the second longest in the flyweight division.

PRELIMINARY CARD

al-iaquinta-2.jpgAl Iaquinta (6-2-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) competes in his second short-notice bout in a 56-day span after defeating Ryan Couture by decision at UFC 164. His opponent, Piotr Hallmann (14-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC), competes in his second bout in a 52-day span after defeating Francisco Trinaldo by submission at UFC Fight Night 28.

Andrew Craig's (9-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) three UFC victories come against opponents with a combined 34 fights of UFC experience.

Craig defeated Rafael Natal at UFC on FUEL TV 4 despite finishing with 50 fewer significant strikes landed. Craig's -50 significant strike differential is the second largest margin ever in a UFC fight featuring a come-from-behind finish. Anderson Silva leads the category for his fifth-round submission of Chael Sonnen at UFC 117 featuring a -60 differential.

Luke Barnatt's (6-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) 113 significant strikes landed at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale were the second most ever landed by a debuting UFC fighter. Nah-Shon Burrell's 121 significant strikes at UFC 157 lead the category. Barnatt and TUF 17 Finale opponent Collin Hart combined for 208 significant strikes landed, a middleweight record.

Rosi Sexton (13-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC), 35, is the oldest fighter currently signed to the UFC women's bantamweight division.

Cole Miller (19-8 MMA, 8-6 UFC) will compete in his fifth bout since dropping to the UFC featherweight division. He is 1-3 in his first four contests.

Miller's six submission victories under the UFC banner are the fifth most in the organization's history.

Miller's submission of Jorge Gurgel at the 4:48 mark of Round 3 at UFC 86 is the latest submission victory ever in a three-round UFC fight.

Miller's 143 significant strikes landed against Nam Phan at UFC on FOX 4 are the second most ever landed in UFC/WEC featherweight history. Phan leads the category for his 174 significant strikes against Leonard Garcia at UFC 136.

Jimy Hettes (10-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) competes for just the second time in a 664-day span.

Hettes' 221 total strikes landed against Phan at UFC 141 are the second most ever in UFC/WEC featherweight history. Dennis Siver's 222 total strikes landed at UFC on FOX 5 lead the category.

Hettes' 11 takedowns landed against Phan at UFC 141 stands as the single-fight UFC/WEC featherweight record.

Robert Whiteford (10-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) makes his UFC debut on less than one week's notice as an injury replacement for Mike Wilkinson (8-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC).


Tonights MAIN CARD is on FOX Sports 2 @ 3 p.m. ET.
