The UFC returned to Texas on Saturday with UFC 247, which took place at Toyota Center in Houston with a main card that aired on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+/UFC Fight Pass. Two championship fights topped the card. In the main event, Jon Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) defended the UFC light heavyweight title by the skin of his teeth with a ultra-competitive unanimous decision win over Dominick Reyes (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC), while Valentina Shevchenko (19-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) utterly dominated Katlyn Chookagian (13-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) en route to a third-round TKO in the co-main event. Both fights for the gold provided some historic footnotes, but that’s not all the card had to offer. For more on the numbers, check below for 50 post-event facts to come out of UFC 247.
