Nate Diaz put on quite possibly the best performance of his career last night at UFC 141, defeating Donald Cerrone via unanimous decision after three rounds thanks to relentless, laser-like striking, accurate enough to set a CompuStrike record for a three round mixed martial arts fight.
Diaz landed an astounding 82 percent of his strikes, connecting on 258 out of 314 punches. After plenty of pre-fight trash talk from both competitors, the fight, unsurprisingly, never hit the ground.
By contrast, Cerrone — who is one of the better strikers in the UFC lightweight division and who possesses a kickboxing record of 28-0-1 — only landed 33 percent of his strikes as he landed only 66 out of 200 attempted strikes.
