Virna Jandiroba passed her first main event test with flying colors.
The former
Invicta Fighting Championships champ secured her fourth straight victory in the
UFC on ESPN 60 headliner, as she submitted former strawweight title challenger
Amanda Lemos with an armbar 4:48 into Round 2 on Saturday night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. With that, Jandiroba staked her claim to a potential title shot against reigning 115-pound champ
Weili Zhang sometime in the near future.
Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC on ESPN 60, with statistics courtesy of UFCStats.com.
4: Consecutive victories for Jandiroba, tying her with reigning champion
Weili Zhang for the second-longest active winning streak in the UFC’s strawweight division behind
Tatiana Suarez (six).
20: Total strikes landed by Jandiroba. Lemos, meanwhile, landed just two in the grappling-heavy affair.
6:27: Control time — out of 9:48 total fight time — for Jandiroba. Despite landing just one of five takedowns, Jandiroba got the better of Lemos in scrambles and also attempted four submissions during the bout. Lemos, meanwhile, did not attempt a takedown and logged just 51 seconds of control time.
13: Career submission attempts for Jandiroba in UFC competition. That’s the second most in strawweight history behind only
Mackenzie Dern (15).
3: UFC victories by way of submission for Jandiroba, tying her with the likes of
Rose Namajunas ,
Tatiana Suarez ,
Cynthia Calvillo and
Polyana Viana for second-most in strawweight history. Dern is No. 1 with four.
4: Straight KO/TKO victories for
Steve Garcia , the longest active knockout streak in the UFC regardless of weight class. “The Mean Machine” vanquished
Seung Woo Choi 1:36 into the opening round of their featherweight co-main event.
6: Knockdowns landed by Garcia during his finishing streak. That figure is tied with several others — including
Conor McGregor — for the sixth most in UFC featherweight history.
286: Combined total strikes for
Kurt Holobaugh (171) and
Kaynan Kruschewsky (115) in their lightweight encounter. Holobaugh, who also held a 92-to-89 advantage in significant strikes landed, won the bout via unanimous decision.
4: Consecutive finishes for
Bruno Silva . That’s tied for the fourth-longest active finishing streak in the UFC behind
Shavkat Rakhmonov (six),
Joanderson Brito (five) and
Carlos Ulberg (five). Silva rallied for a second-round technical knockout of
Cody Durden in their flyweight bout. Silva’s four straight wins are also tied with
Amir Albazi and
Manel Kape for the fourth-longest active winning streak in the flyweight division.
2,934: Days since
Doo Ho Choi ’s last victory, a first-round knockout of
Thiago Tavares at “The Ultimate Fighter 23” finale on July 8, 2016. “The Korean Superboy” returned to the win column with a second-round stoppage of
Bill Algeo in their featherweight matchup at UFC on ESPN 60.
3: Submission attempts for Choi. In his previous seven UFC outings, Choi did not attempt a single submission.
42: Significant strikes landed by
Hyder Amil in just 65 seconds against
Jeong Yeong Lee in their featured featherweight bout. Amil’s non-stop barrage brought an end to the contest in short order, giving “The Hurricane” his 10th professional triumph in as many outings.

4: Consecutive losses inside of a round for
Brian Kelleher , who succumbed to an arm-triangle from

Dione Barbosa in a preliminary flyweight bout. Maverick logged 8:07 of control time on Saturday night to move No. 6 six all-time at 125 pounds in that category.
4: Takedowns landed in five attempts for
Trey Ogden in a three-round verdict over
Loik Radzhabov at lightweight. Ogen also logged 9:47 of control time to offset a 42-to-24 significant striking deficit in the fight.
10: Takedowns landed by Ogden in his last three appearances, a stretch where the Marathon MMA founder is 2-0 with one no contest. Ogden landed just two takedowns in his first three UFC bouts while posting a 1-2 mark.
1,638: Days since
Lucie Pudilova ’s last flyweight appearance, a unanimous decision loss to

Luana Carolina in a preliminary bout on Saturday.
51: Significant strikes by which Carolina outlanded Pudilova. This included a 33-to-6 edge in Round 1 and a 37-to-15 advantage in Round 3.
