UFC 281: Israel Adesanya vs. Alex Pereira alternative stats

The Octagon revisits NYC this Saturday with one hell of a headliner and #3 hole matchup. Israel Adesanya finally gets his chance for the MMA version of redemption against Alex Pereira, the only man to ever knock him out. And oh good lord we finally get to see Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler throw down.

Remember, what you’re about to read are not official UFC statistics. They’re weighted stats generated from official statistics designed to (1) put more emphasis on the recent present than the distant past and (2) minimize the effects of one huge or horrible performance more quickly as time goes by.
