We’re not sure if this is a slide from a PowerPoint presentation in Zuffa’s corporate headquarters, or some fan just made it up. A google search could probably clear up that mystery, but my new New Year’s resolution involved not fact checking anything that could potentially let a story sound less interesting. Instead, I’m going to make statements to the best of my knowledge, say I’m not sure when I’m not sure, and let you guys tell me how stupid I am every time there’s a semantics error. In other words, I expect nothing new from MMA fans in 2013.

I’m happy 2012 is over, and before we can look forward to a whole new year of rawesome fights, we need to review the past 12 months with this statistical analysis. Props to MMAnytt.se and StudioMMA.com for the visual.

Biggest surprise is that Team Alpha Snoozer finished 67% of their fights. Usually Mendes and Faber prefer to take a nap on the opponent until the final bell sounds.

Mendez is getting easy fights and messing up the stats.

Jackson's has the lowest team finish rate. I guess our bias is statistically justified.

They get hopped up on m&m's before every fight. They all look like they are buzzing anyway.

-19% of fights this year got booed

-67% of fans now have Britney over Arianny as their fav ring girl, 2% still can't forget the one from China

-100% of Joe Rogan's hair is now gone

-3% is the percentage of times Mike Golberg misprosounded, misprodansed, mispronounced words while commentating.

Shit, when my parody account has a seriously funny comment and mine is sinking like the Titanic I need to go back to the drawing board.

I wish they would break down the 1% of the no contests so we could see the percentage of pot smokers, p.e.d. users, and illegal strikers.

The numbers are wildly inaccurate as far as Jackson's goes. The actual number is 52% total fights didn't go to decision, and 64% wins were finishes. The rest of the numbers are probably wrong also.
