When the UFC stacked the fight card for the historic first event in New York City, it did so by selecting more than a few talented strikers from its roster to ensure the event sees some fireworks. As well see, the names of these fighters are among the primary reasons fans will be tuning into the nights events. Lets take a closer look at the offensive striking metrics for the fighters on the card -- and see which fighters excel in their standup game, and specifically how they excel.How the graph worksThis balloon (or bubble) chart includes the fighters competing this weekend with sufficient sample size. Many of these figures will move with more cage time, but its a good snapshot of how theyve performed to date.The four metrics in the graph are all related to offensive striking. First, the vertical axis is the power head striking accuracy. This is a general reflection of a strikers skill level in technique. Some fighters are more aggressive than others, while some are primarily counter-strikers; those characteristics lead to very different striking styles. The horizontal axis indicates the ratio of strike attempts while standing compared to that specific fighters opponents throughout their career. Its a measure of output, and a proxy for aggression. An even 1.0 ratio means a fighter matches the pace of their opponents when standing and trading, while a higher number shows more aggressive and higher-volume strikers compared to lower ratios, which indicate counter-strikers.The dots are plotted based on those two metrics, but two additional variables are also shown on this chart. The size of the bubble is based on the fighters Knockdown Rate in all of their UFC, Strikeforce and WEC fights. Bigger bubbles mean a lot more power, while the small specks indicate fighters who havent logged a distance knockdown in recorded competition. Lastly, southpaw/switch stance strikers are in red. Unorthodox strikers are rare, but are worth highlighting, as some fighters have trouble with Southpaws. click to enlargeSnipersHighest on the graph, Conor McGregor leads the pack as the most accurate power striker at UFC 205, landing 42 percent of his power head strikes from a distance. Impressively, he has achieved this while using a high mix of head kicks instead of just punches, which typically lowers a fighters accuracy.Another UFC champion and event marquee fighter, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, comes in close behind at 40 percent. Like McGregor, Joanna Champion excels with precision despite using an aggressive striking style that might normally lower overall accuracy.Cuban wrestler Yoel Romero may have the most noteworthy Olympic credentials on the card, but surprisingly he has avoided putting them to use so far in the UFC. Instead of wrestling, he has opted stand and trade with opponents, and has enjoyed remarkable success with his hands.High-pressure strikersJedrzejczyk isnt just an accurate and technical striker, she puts on a blistering pace. Shes averaging over 19 standup strike attempts per minute while at a distance, and shes nearly doubled the pace of opponents by throwing 83 percent more total volume. However, she has only the second-highest striking output on the card, because her opponent Karolina Kowalkiewicz averages 21 attempts per minute. Thats all the more reason to expect a barnburner in the strawweight championship bout.In addition to Kowalkiewicz, welterweight title challenger Stephen Wonderboy Thompson has also vastly outworked his opponents while trading leather. Thats because Thompsons long-range movement and skilled kicking attacks have stymied his opponents to date. However, its worth noting that his opponent, Tyron Woodley, will have the best wrestling credentials of anyone that Thompson has ever faced.SluggersWoodley, the new welterweight champ, is the punch-for-punch hardest hitter on the card, and secured his new belt in an appropriately hard hitting manner. Woodley is the first fighter to win a welterweight title fight in the early rounds in nearly a decade, in a division that has seen more than its share of decisions when the belt is on the line. It will be interesting to see if he chooses to stand and trade with Wonderboy -- whether hell count on power to trump precision and pace, or if we will see an early dose of wrestling.Another welterweight comes in a distant second, and thats Donald Cerrone. Despite lagging behind Woodley on the stat line, Cerrone makes up for it with pure volume of career knockdowns scored -- currently at 17 total since his days in the WEC, and six more than the next-highest total on the card (Alves, 11). Cerrone will try to test the sturdy chin of Kelvin Gastelum on the main card.Keeping it on the groundKhabib Nurmagomedov is arguably the most effective wrestler on the card.?He typically chooses to keep fights on the ground, as hes absolutely dominated opponents while there. That suits Nurmagomedov well, given that he has not demonstrated very accurate or well-paced power striking thus far. In facing a more skilled striker in Michael Johnson, hell have to stick to his bread and butter to ensure the fights stays in the position that favors his style.

PAUL, Minn. http://www.cheaptexasrangersjerseys.com/ . The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night.

Gabon international Aubameyang -- a 13 million-euro ($17 million) off-season signing from French side Saint-Etienne -- opened the scoring in the 24th minute, made the game safe in the 66th, and added another in the 79th before Robert Lewandowski scored from a penalty kick with four minutes remaining. "We got great goals and finished the game with confidence. Not many win 4-0 here. That makes me proud," Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said. Hertha Berlin celebrated its return to the Bundesliga with a 6-1 rout of visiting Eintracht Frankfurt, thanks to two goals each from Adrian Ramos and Sami Allagui and one each from Ronny and German-American defender John Anthony Brooks. Bayer Leverkusen won 3-1 at home over Freiburg, Hannover beat nine-man Wolfsburg 2-0 at home, and Nuremberg drew 2-2 at Hoffenheim. Zlatko Junuzovics late strike gave Werder Bremen a 1-0 win at Eintracht Braunschweig in the late game, denying the home side a winning return to the Bundesliga after 28 years. "Something was missing for 28 years," proclaimed a large banner before kickoff, but the closest Braunschweig came to scoring was in the 64th, when Ken Reichels shot crashed off the crossbar. Bremen keeper Sebastian Mielitz just got his fingertips to the ball. Junuzovic scored in the 82nd, lifting the ball over the goalkeeper against the run of play. Braunschweigs hopes of an equalizer were dashed when Jan Hochscheidts shot was blocked on the line in the 88th. "We created enough chances in the second half. Its just a shame we couldnt make more of them," said Braunschweig captain Dennis Kruppke. The 24-year-old Aubameyang became only the sixth player in the Bundesliga to score a hat trick on his debut. He beat a defender to meet Marcel Schmelzers cross with a header beyond the helpless Augsburg keeper. Marco Reus set up his second, which Aubameyang curled around the goalkeeper inside the far post. Aubameyang rounded the goalkeeper for his third, tucking the ball into the empty net, after Lewandowski had played the ball into his path. "Aubameyang was put to great use today. Im not surprised about what he offers, but that all the balls go in already. Its a very good start," Klopp said. Lewandowski added a fourth with an emphatic penalty, after Jonas Hofmann waas fouled in the area.dddddddddddd Despite the scoreline, Dortmund found it hard to break down the stubborn home side. Augsburg might have equalized in the first half but for a goal-line clearance from Sven Bender, while reserve goalkeeper Mitch Langerak pulled off a great save from Raphael Holzhauser. Langerak maintained his record of 11 wins from 11 competitive games for Dortmund. "Of course were disappointed. We imagined and hoped for it to go a little differently," said Augsburg coach Markus Weinzierl. "Our mistakes were punished ruthlessly." Ramos scored Herthas first goal back in the Bundesliga following a well-worked counterattack in the 18th, and Brooks made it 2-0 by shooting through a host of players in the 32nd. Alexander Meier pulled one back from the penalty spot five minutes later, but Allagui scored twice in as many minutes to decide the game with half an hour remaining, before Ramos and then Ronny completed the rout. "The performance was sensational. Now we have the first three points, we can enjoy the game a little bit. But well be back in everyday life very quickly. We can still improve," Hertha coach Jos Luhukay said. It was the first time since December 2004 that Hertha scored six goals in a Bundesliga game. The home side also hit the crossbar three times in the first half. "Its hard for me to analyze such a game," Frankfurt coach Armin Veh said. Freiburg striker Mike Hanke cancelled out Stefan Kiesslings opening goal for Leverkusen, but Son Heung-min scored his first Bundesliga goal for Leverkusen just after the break and Sidney Sam secured the win in the 52nd. Leon Andreasen and Szabolcs Huszti scored for Hannover, either side of the sendings off of Maximilian Arnold and Timm Klose for Wolfsburg. Mike Frantz and Daniel Ginczek drew Nuremberg level at Hoffenheim, which had gone ahead through David Abraham and Anthony Modeste. The home side was left to rue a goal that wasnt given in first half injury time, when the ball came back out over the line due to the spin from Kevin Vollands lob over the goalkeeper. "Its annoying that such a goal was stolen but I dont want to accuse anyone. Its hard for the linesman to see. It was hard for me to see," Volland said. Referee Thorsten Kinhoefer said the match officials realized the mistake at halftime. "Where people judge, mistakes happen. Its very annoying that we made this mistake today," Kinhoefer said. ' ' '
