The UFC heavyweight title is on the line in the main event of the promotions first trip to Cleveland, with hometown champion Stipe Miocic defending it for the first time against former Strikeforce champion Alistair Overeem. Both fighters are coming off of impressive knockout victories, and the key statistical comparisons listed below could be the difference this Saturday.Each fighter has his strengths and weaknesses, but if the numbers are any indication, this could be a tight one to call.WrestlingBecause Miocic comes from a wrestling background, including collegiately at Cleveland State, many expect him to try to take the fight to the ground and dominate. While he did take down Mark Hunt six times and landed a record number of strikes in their match, he has not attempted a takedown in his past two fights. Miocic attempts 2.09 takedowns per 15 minutes, but he lands only 34 percent of these attempts. On the other hand, Overeem attempts a similar number of takedowns per 15 minutes (1.65) and lands at a much higher percentage (65 percent). Both fighters have respectable takedown defense: Miocic stops 72 percent, and Overeem stops 77 percent, so there is a very good chance that this fight will remain a standing affair.Striking AccuracyOvereem is the most accurate striker in UFC history. In the Octagon, he has landed 75 percent of his significant strikes, which is far and away the best. The second-most accurate fighter in UFC history, Trevor Smith, has landed 63 percent of his strikes. Miocic is an extremely accurate striker in his own right, landing 50 percent of his significant strikes, and he has been the more accurate fighter in nine of his 11 bouts under the UFC banner. This will be a big test for Miocic, because well see how he deals with someone who is even more accurate than himself.Striking DifferentialBoth fighters land an impressive number of significant strikes per minute. Miocic has the advantage, landing 4.93 per minute compared with Overeems 3.81 per minute. In terms of striking differential, however, Overeem takes the edge; on a per-minute basis, The Reem lands 2.12 significant strikes more than his opponents,compared with a 1.62 differential for Miocic. Defensively, Miocic has allowed opponents to land 3.31 significant strikes per minute, which is fifth-worst among ranked heavyweights. Both fighters throw a lot of strikes, but Overeem has shown the better defense over the course of his career. If the bout turns into a firefight, Overeem could end up getting the better of these exchanges.Average Fight TimeAs a championship fight, this bout is scheduled for 25 minutes. A longer fight appears to favor Miocic, considering his average fight time of 10:26 is much longer than Overeems 6:24. The champion has fought into the championship rounds only twice, however, and he has experienced mixed results in those extra two rounds. He lost via decision against Junior dos Santos in 2014, but defeated Hunt in the fifth round in 2015. Overeem has never fought past Round 3 in his career. His longest fight came in 2005, when he dropped a 20-minute decision to Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at Pride 29. Miocic is 3-1 in fights that go to decision, and Overeem is 4-3.

Despite the loss, it was a remarkable show by the confident Swedish challenger, who had the best of the early rounds and then hung on in the fourth and fifth. SEATTLE -- With the blister on a finger of his pitching hand fully healed, Hisashi Iwakuma felt he could throw basically any pitch he wanted in an impressive seven innings. It looked much the same as his previous starts. Iwakuma retired 16 straight over one stretch, Raul Ibanez homered for the first time in nearly a month and the Seattle Mariners beat the Oakland Athletics 6-3 on Friday night. "He repeats. Hes so consistent with his delivery, his arm action, his arm slot, release point, its tough to see what is coming out," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "Thats what you have to do. If youre going to be a solid starting pitcher up here youve got to do that." Iwakuma (4-1) took a one-hitter into the sixth inning before running into trouble, putting together another strong outing to help cement himself and Felix Hernandez as one of the top rotation duos in baseball. Iwakuma has allowed five earned runs over his last five starts, and the number could have been even smaller if not for a scoring change that ended up tagging him with two earned runs against the As. Overshadowed by Hernandez, the ace of the Mariners staff, Iwakuma has been nearly as solid this season. Hes pitched at least six innings in seven of eight starts despite being bothered by a lingering blister on his pitching hand, and has not allowed more than three earned runs in any start. "Those two have just been on another level," Seattle third baseman Kyle Seager said. "Everybody knows Felix, obviously, but (Iwakuma) hes been flying under the radar a little bit but hes been just as impressive. Its been pretty fun to play behind those two especially." Iwakuma gave up a solid leadoff single to right field to John Jaso and then was unhittable for the next five innings. He set down 15 straight with remarkable ease, through a combination of broken bats, weak groundballs and lazy flies. He struck out Yoenis Cespedes to close the first, struck out Derek Norris and Jaso in the third and retired Josh Donaldson and Daric Barton swinging to end the fifth. Iwakumas streak finally ended at 16 straight retired when Eric Sogard reached on an infield single -- originally ruled an error -- with one-out in the sixth inning. His groundball bounced off the arm of shortstop Brendan Ryan and Sogard reached without a throw. Jaso followed with a bloop single, annd the As finally got to Iwakuma on Jed Lowries two-out, two-run double into the right-field corner.dddddddddddd Lowrie had just one RBI in his previous 17 games before the double. The scoring change cost Iwakuma a chance to have his ERA dip below Hernandezs for the best in the American League. Instead, Iwakumas ERA rose from 1.61 to 1.74. He gave up four hits, struck out nine and walked none. Tom Wilhelmsen pitched the ninth for his 10th save. "Its a mental relief being able to pitch with that much of a big lead is big for myself, so being able to pitch with a better rhythm helped me be able to go through seven innings," Iwakuma said through an interpreter. Seattle scored twice in the first off Oakland starter Dan Straily (1-1). Seattle broke the game open with Ibanezs three-run homer in the third inning that came with two outs. Oakland lost its season-high fifth straight and dipped below .500 since starting the season 1-2. The As fell to 2-6 on their current 10-game road trip and only once has Oakland scored more than three runs. "Everybody has to pick everybody up and were not doing that right now," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. Straily struggled to get through five innings, but didnt get help from his defence starting in the first inning that led to two runs. Kendrys Morales chopper to left side bounced past both third baseman Josh Donaldson and Lowrie at shortstop to put runners at the corners with one out instead of a possible inning-ending double play. Michael Morse followed with an RBI single and Justin Smoak lined an RBI double to give Iwakuma an early lead. Seattles runs in the third also came thanks to a fortunate bounce. Seager reached on an infield single that spun awkwardly off the end of his bat. Straily gave up a two-out walk to Smoak that proved costly when Ibanez turned on a 1-1 pitch for his third homer of the season and first since April 14. "Its always nice to contribute and the last few games Ive played I guess have been better," Ibanez said. NOTES: Seattle improved to 16-8 this season when its starting pitcher works at least six innings. They are 1-11 when the starter fails to get through six. ... Seager scored three of the four times he reached base. ... Oaklands Derek Norris hit a solo homer, his first of the season, in the eighth off Seattle reliever Oliver Perez.
