Okay, so I wanted to compare Dustin Poirier and Benoit Saint Denis’s stats before their fight. Here’s how I went about it.
First, I opened my browser. You know, the usual starting point for any kind of research these days.
Starting the Search
Next, I typed in something simple like “Dustin Poirier stats” and “Benoit Saint Denis stats” into the search bar. I figured that would be the easiest way to get the basic info.
Finding the Right Sites
- I avoided those random blog posts and opinion pieces. I really wanted hard numbers, not just someone’s hot take.
- I looked for official-looking sites, because they usually have the most reliable and detailed data.
Digging into the Data
Once I found some good stat pages, I started comparing their numbers. I focused on things like:
- Wins and Losses: This is obviously the most basic, but it’s a good starting point.
- Knockouts/Submissions: These tell you a bit about their fighting style. Are they strikers or grapplers?
- Significant Strikes Landed/Absorbed: I find the raw numbers helpfull.
- Takedown Accuracy/Defense: I wanted a well-rounded view, so I also cheked out the takedown stats.
Putting It All Together
I jotted down the key stats for each fighter in my notepad as I went. It helped me keep everything straight and see the side-by-side comparison more clearly.
After going through all of that, I had a pretty good handle on how these two matched up, at least on paper. This entire process took me about 30 minutes or so, it was’nt too difficult.
