Former two-division Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder and onetime Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo will confront Team Alpha Male’s Kenan Song in the UFC Fight Night 252 main event on Saturday at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. Meanwhile, Brendan Allen rematches Anthony Hernandez in the three-round middleweight co-headliner at 185 pounds.

Ahead of UFC Fight Night 252 “Cejudo vs. Song,” a look at some of the numbers the fighters on the docket bring to the table:

1,258: Significant strikes landed by Rob Font as a UFC bantamweight, placing him second on the promotion’s all-time list at 135 pounds.
