TweetOMAHA, Neb. - Wednesday's UFC on FUEL TV 1 event delivered in many ways with great fights, a raucous crowd and a thrilling headliner.
TV viewers also got a treat that earned lots of praise: the implementation of live in-fight statistics during each bout.
Such stats likely will be part of future broadcasts, according to UFC president Dana White, who recently told MMAjunkie.com that constant tweaks are being made to the UFC-FOX broadcasts.

TweetI kind of like the statistics. I think it will prove that landing the most shots does not necessarily mean that fighter is winning the fight. It will make it much more "visible" to see the statistics while watching the fight. It counts as far as points, but that's about it. When they show a statistic that includes, octagon control, aggressiveness, gameplan implementation....then we will get an entire view of a fight is going.
