The hard part of using statistics in MMA is that the numbers are not as cut and dry as they are in other sports. When a baseball player hits 40 home runs, you know he hit 40 home runs. In MMA, just because fighter A lands more strikes than fighter B, fighter A doesn't win the fight every time.
This is the case for "Jacare," who we scored winning the fifth round 10-9 despite being outlanded 16-12 and giving up a takedown. We scored it as such because the punches "Jacare" appeared to be more damaging. So while looking at numbers are helpful, they don't always tell the whole story.
FightMetric is an awesome tool, but it is also important not to take statistics at face value.
