- Most wins in UFC Heavyweight division in history (14)[85]
- Most fights in UFC Heavyweight division in history (20)[86]
- Most finishes in UFC Heavyweight division in history (11)
- Third most wins by submission in UFC history (8)
- Most wins by submission in UFC Heavyweight division in history (8)
- First and only toe hold finish in UFC history
- Fastest submission in UFC Heavyweight division in history (46 seconds)
- Fought five different UFC Heavyweight Champions
- Defeated four different UFC Heavyweight Champions
