By the Numbers: UFC Kansas City

Ian Garry brought an end to the Carlos Prates knockout streak -- but he had to sweat it out down the stretch.

Relying on technical striking, intelligent defense and timely wrestling, Garry captured a unanimous decision triumph over Carlos Prates in the UFC Kansas City headliner at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri, on Saturday night. “The Future” built an early lead on the scorecards, then survived a late push from his Brazilian foe to bounce back from a decision loss to Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310 this past December. Prates, who might regret his slow start, sees an 11-fight professional winning streak snapped in defeat.

Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC Kansas City, with statistics courtesy of UFCStats.com.

126: Significant strikes landed by Garry. By comparison, Prates landed 63. The Irishman outlanded his foe 15 to 7 in Round 1, 34 to 12 in Round 2, 26 to 10 in Round 3, 23 to 12 in Round 4 and 28 to 22 in Round 5.

242: Significant strikes attempted by Garry, nearly twice as many as Prates (129).

86: Significant head strikes landed by Garry. Prates, meanwhile, landed 38. Garry also held a 23-to-9 edge in significant leg strikes.

12: Significant ground strike edge for Prates in Round 5, arguably the Brazilian’s best frame of the fight. Still, his late push wasn’t enough, as Garry survived until the final horn to get the nod on the scorecards.

19: Takedowns attempted by Garry, tying him with multiple others for the eighth most ever in a UFC welterweight bout. While Garry landed just four of his attempts, it marked the first time Prates was taken down in UFC competition.

3: Consecutive KO/TKO wins for Mingyang Zhang, tying him with Tom Aspinall and Dominick Reyes for the second-longest active knockout streak among active UFC fighters behind Steve Garcia (five). Zhang ruined Anthony Smith’s retirement fight with a barrage of elbows for a stoppage 4:03 into Round 1 of their light heavyweight co-main event.

19: First-round finishes among 19 professional victories for Zhang. Overall, “Mountain Tiger” has gone to the judges just once in 25 career bouts.

53: Significant strikes by which Zhang outlanded Smith in the short-lived affair. That included a 25-to-0 advantage in strikes on the ground.

60: Career fights for Smith, the most of anyone on the UFC Kansas City card.
