"Championship Stats: At 23 years, eight months, became the youngest champion in UFC history when he defeated Mauricio Rua for the light heavyweight title at UFC 128 in March 2011.

"At 24 years, two months, five days, became the youngest fighter in UFC history to defend a championship belt when he defeated Quinton Jackson at UFC 135.

"Title reign of 917 days (as of Sunday) is the second longest in divisional history behind Tito Ortiz (1,260 days).
