By the Numbers: UFC 175

---

One champion endured a 25-minute struggle. The other had a considerably shorter evening. When all was said and done, both Chris Weidman and Ronda Rousey retained their respective titles at UFC 175.

Weidman started quickly, and then held on late to capture a unanimous five-round decision against a hard-charging Lyoto Machida in the evening’s middleweight headliner. Meanwhile, Rousey kept her bantamweight crown with a 16-second demolition of Alexis Davis in the co-feature.

It was a night when the UFC needed its champions to deliver, and both did -- albeit via very different methods. Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC 175, with statistics courtesy of FightMetric.com.

16: Seconds needed by Rousey to defeat Davis, the second fastest KO/TKO in a UFC title bout and the fastest of her career.
