Of the 9 bouts Cage Brothers holds a result for, 1 was the main event of the card. Seven of them have come since September 2024.

Set against the 623 Lightweight fighters Cage Brothers holds eight or more bouts for, Artur Minev has a finish rate above 84% of them, a record of avoiding stoppage above 64% of them and a two-year bout count higher than all of them.
