By The Numbers: Miguel Baeza vs. Andre Fialho

Welterweights with violent predispositions will do battle under the Ultimate Fighting Championship flag when Miguel Baeza collides with Andre Fialho at UFC on ESPN 34 this Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. They have 20 finishes in 24 wins between them.

Baeza enters the cage on the heels of back-to-back losses. The MMA Masters product last competed at UFC Fight Night 197, where he succumbed to third-round punches from Kalinn Williams on Nov. 13. Fialho, meanwhile, finds himself on the rebound following a unanimous decision defeat to Michel Pereira in his Octagon debut at UFC 270 on Jan. 22. The setback snapped a four-fight winning streak for the Sanford MMA standout.

As Baeza and Fialho make their final preparations for what figures to be a shootout at 170 pounds, a look at some of the numbers that have accompanied them to this point:

29: Years of age for Baeza, who was born on Aug. 23, 1992 in Davie, Florida.

7: Baeza victories by knockout or technical knockout, accounting for 70% of his career total (10). His list of UFC victims: Matt Brown and Hector Aldana.
