Carlos Condit set a UFC record for leg kicks landed in a fight on Saturday night, connecting on 68 to Nick Diaz in the UFC 143 main event. Here's the stat and comparison to the previous best via FightMetric.com:
"Carlos Condit took the interim welterweight title at UFC 143 and took another distinction as well. He landed 68 leg kicks against Nick Diaz, setting the record for most leg kicks landed in a single fight. The previous record was 49, landed by Donald Cerrone in his fight against Vagner Rocha, which remains the record for a three-round fight. Through three rounds, Condit had only landed 42 leg kicks."
