Yet another eye-opening bout headlines this weekend’s fight card in the UFC Apex as a former champion makes his debut in the bantamweight division against a contender with a penchant for getting his work done early.

With that in mind, we took a dive into the stats of each matchup to see what might go down when the Octagon door closes on August 22.
