American statistics website FightMetric recently updated its UFC takedown-defense ranking. The new leader in this factum across the promotion’s history is Jiu-Jitsu black belt Gleison Tibau, who held a perfect 100% takedown-defense record over the man who beat him in his last fight, Khabib Nurmagomedov.

With the achievement, the Brazilian surpassed the formerly first-placed Andrei Arlovski. Besides defending, Tibau is proficient with executing takedowns as well—he’s second best at getting a fight to the ground, only trailing behind UFC welterweight champion Georges Saint-Pierre.
