UFC 159: "Jones vs. Sonnen" took place Saturday night (April 27, 2013) in Newark, N.J., with Jon Jones defeating Chael Sonnen by first-round technical knockout in the main event for his fifth Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight title defence.

With an event that saw six of the 11 bouts on the card end by (technical) knockout or submission, there were plenty of facts to come out of the UFC's twelfth event of 2013.

Some are notable; others irrelevant and a few might even expand your knowledge.

For instance, we know that Jones tied Tito Ortiz's all-time record for most consecutive 205-pound title defenses in UFC history with five, officially has the second longest light heavyweight title reign in history at 771 days and is well on his way to become the most successful fighter his weight class --and possible even the sport-- has ever seen.

That's not all we know, though.
