UFC LightWeight Division - a bit of stats

If you have been following Khabib's success thanks mainly to his incredible grappling ability in the UFC's lightweight division, take a look at this graph, showing the top 15 ranked UFC lightweight fighters at this time. 

Khabib has a perfect record which translates into a straight line in terms of cumulative wins on the x-axis. 

What is most curious is just how many fights Donald Cerrone has had and that he is still in the top-15, albeit barely so and probably not for long given the talk of his retirement. 


Yet here is more proof that Justin at least by the numbers is the greatest threat to Khabib. The purple line is closest to his, and then closely followed by the green line of Tony Ferguson. 

Below are the % of wins out of total fights for each top ranked fighter as well. 

Donald Cerrone         result    0.679245
Drew Dober             result    0.696970
