Note: I goofed on some of the formatting so forgive me please.

Over the past few months I've done some fight card statistics for the UFC. Why not give it a shot with the WEC? This one is slightly more tricky and requires a longer timespan. The tables below are separated by year from 2008 to 2010.

2008

Event	KO/TKO	Subs	Decisions	Draw/NC/DQ
WEC 32	4	4	2	0
WEC 33	3	3	2	2 (1 DQ, 1 draw)
WEC 34	4	2	5	0
WEC 35	6	3	1	0
WEC 36	6	1	3	0
WEC 37	4	3	3	0
Total	27	16	16	2

After WEC 37 the light heavyweight and middleweight divisions were dissolved into the UFC.

2009

Event	KO/TKO	Subs	Decisions	Draw/NC/DQ
WEC 38	4	3	3	0
WEC 39	3	1	6	0
WEC 40	2	1	7	0
WEC 41	1	6	3	0
WEC 42	2	1	7	1 (NC)*
WEC 43	2	2	6	0
WEC 44	2	2	6	0
WEC 45	3	2	5	0
Total	19	18	43	1

After WEC 39 the welterweight division went the way of the middleweight and light-heavyweight divisions and their roster moved to the UFC.

* Fredson Paixao vs. Cole Province was originally ruled a split decision win for Province before he failed his post-fight drug test. It was then changed to an NC.

2010

Event	KO/TKO	Subs	Decisions	Draw/NC/DQ
WEC 46	0	4	6	0
WEC 47	3	5	2	1 (Draw)
Aldo vs. Faber	2	4	5	0
WEC 49	2	5	3	1 (Draw)
Total	7	18	16	2

In total we've had 53 TKOs/KOs (28.64%), 52 submissions (28.1%), 75 decisions (40.54%), 3 draws (1.6%), 1 DQ (0.54%), and 1 no contest (0.54%).

Ever since the larger weight classes were dissolved into the UFC the knockouts have gone down significantly, but submissions and decisions in particular have gone up. I suppose it's natural for the lighter weight classes to lack serious KO power. Not everyone can be Jose Aldo. But I guarantee everyone here would take Garcia vs. Jung 3 round classic (sloppy as it was) over a run-of-the-mill KO.
