By the Numbers: UFC 182

---

Jon Jones’ sparkling resume got a little bit shinier on Saturday night.

Taking a page from his opponent’s playbook, the light heavyweight king embraced the grind down the stretch to capture a unanimous decision triumph over Daniel Cormier in the UFC 182 headliner at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Jones won all aspects of the bout, both outstriking and outwrestling Cormier before punctuating his triumph with a crotch-chop after the final horn. While Cormier had his moments, he lacked the versatility of his foe and appeared to wear down in the championship frames. With a bout of such magnitude in the books, there are plenty of facts and figures to review. Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC 182, with statistics courtesy of FightMetric.com.
