In the case of O’Brien, who holds the UFC record with 6.44 takedowns landed per 15 minutes, Jones defended all four attempts by O’Brien. Jones’ takedown defense should be one of his biggest weapons when he faces the takedown-hungry Rashad Evans. Outlands Opponents by 2.4 Strikes per Minute Jones is known for the unorthodox striking techniques that he displays in the Octagon, but what may surprise most is that he’s actually quite efficient in this area. Jones’ strike differential is 2.40, the fourth best total in UFC history. This means that Jones lands 2.4 more strikes every minute than he absorbs. Most Takedowns in Light Heavyweight History Rashad Evans’ 48 career takedowns are more than any light heavyweight has ever earned, but his approach to takedowns has changed considerably as his striking has evolved. Evans scored half of his takedowns, 24, in his first 3 light heavyweight fights and the other 24 in next 10 contests combined. During those 10 fights, his striking came alive as he recorded 4 of his 5 UFC KOs. Third-Best Striking Defense in Light Heavyweight History Much has been made of Rashad Evans’ speed and footwork, and the numbers back up the hype. Evans’ 66.7% career striking defense is superb, the 3 rd best in light heavyweight history. Remaining elusive and fleet-of-foot will be helpful skills against someone with the range and style of Jon Jones. #Takedown Landed LHW Division 1Rashad Evans48 2Tito Ortiz33 3Matt Hamill22 4Randy Couture21 4Jon Jones21
