Despite having a main event fall through for the sixth time this year, the UFC managed to deliver a strong show in its return to England as injury replacement Lyoto Machida made quick work of Mark Munoz in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 30 headliner.

Former light heavyweight champion Machida (20-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) didn’t let his friendship with Munoz (13-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) get in the way of sending a violent message to the middleweight division, which came with a perfectly timed head kick.

It was yet another highlight-reel worthy finish for Machida and one that earned him the fourth “Knockout of the Night” bonus of his career, which ties him with Roy Nelson and Vitor Belfort for the second most all-time behind former 185-pound champion Anderson Silva.

As a whole, Saturday’s FOX Sports 2-televised event in Manchester provided a mixed bag of ups and downs, but as always, at least a few intriguing statistical figures came out of the event.
