UFC Stats 2022 Review: Featherweight division
A look at the stats, facts, figures and numbers from the UFC’s featherweight division in 2022
The UFC wrapped up its slate of 2022 events on December 17 in the same venue where it put on its first fight card of the year, the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Between January 15 and December 17, there were 511 fights on 42 UFC cards. The first fight of the year was the lightweight matchup between T.J. Brown and Charles Rosa. The final contest was a welterweight scrap between Jared Cannonier and Sean Strickland.
In 2022, Alexander Volkanovski defended his UFC featherweight title twice. In April, he scored A TKO win over Chan Sung Jung (aka The Korean Zombie) at UFC 273. Volkanovski followed that with a July unanimous decision win over former champion Max Holloway in their trilogy bout at UFC 276. In total, Volkanovski has defended his crown four times. The UFC has booked him to face UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev at UFC 284 in February.
With no UFC cards scheduled until UFC Vegas 67 takes place on January 14, 2023, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Bloody Elbow looks back at the stats, facts and figures from each UFC weight division in 2022.
Today, we look at the UFC’s featherweight division.
