Infographic: Hendricks landed more blows, but St. Pierre was more forceful

The fight that marked the 20th anniversary celebrations of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) ended in controversy. In the main event of UFC 167, Canadian Georges St. Pierre and American Johny Hendricks engaged in an intense, balanced, and back-and-forth duel. In the end, the champion prevailed by split decision and successfully defended his welterweight title.

The decision did not please a large part of the public and even Dana White, president of the franchise, who saw the challenger's triumph. According to the duel numbers, Hendricks landed more strikes, 142 against 125. But, on the other hand, GSP was the one who struck more significantly. The Canadian landed 101 hard-hitting blows and took 85.

On the other hand, takedowns are another factor of balance in the fight. St. Pierre managed to take down his rival on three occasions, two of which in the fifth round. But the Canadian was thrown onto his back twice.
