Compustrike: UFC 130 by the numbers
UFC 130 may have had main event booking problems, but it didn’t stop the card from having non-stop action from bottom to top. Many fans were expecting to see Frankie Edgar defend his Lightweight strap against Gray Maynard, but instead we were treated to a headlining bout between Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Matt “The Hammer” Hamill. Rampage looking to get back to the Light-Heavyweight title picture and Matt Hamill trying to boost in stock in a very stacked division. Our good friends at Compustrike kept track of every moment of the fight. Take a look at the numbers and drop your two cents in the comment box.
