Greg Jackson is right, his fighters are ‘very high finishers.’ Back in 2007-08, they finished almost 60% of their fights, but in 2012 when Dana White called Greg Jackson a sport killer, there was a lonely dude compiling stats, and guess what?

In 2012, Greg Jackson’s team had the worst finishing percentage out of anyone in the sport, and by a fairly large margin. They only finished 30% of their fights, and that’s with world-class killers Jon Jones, Carlos Condit and more on the team.

The truth lies somewhere in-between. Over his history, you’ll probably find that Jackson fighters finish just as much as most others, and it’s really the great competition in the big leagues that are skewing data.

Marcos Villegas spoke to Greg about this phenomenon.
