By the Numbers: UFC Fight Night 134

“Lionheart” earned his second consecutive victory over a former light heavyweight champion in Sunday’s headliner, stopping Mauricio Rua via technical knockout 1:29 into the opening round of their 205-pound contest at Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany. It was a sad moment for nostalgists, but a welcome relief for those who had endured the nine consecutive decisions prior to the main event. Meanwhile, “Shogun’s” three-fight winning streak, previously the longest active run at light heavyweight, comes to an end.
