Fun with numbers: UFC Heavyweight finishes 2010-2006.

Ok, so this time around I have put together the numbers for the UFC Heavyweights for the last five years. I think it is hard to get much out of this because of the thinness of the division. When you look at some of the match-ups, the outcome was pretty much a foregone conclusion.

Regardless, here they are. In the next week or two, I will post the rest of the UFC divisions. SF will follow in late October.
