Gregory Babene’s record, in numbers

Gregory Babene’s official record is 23-13 (1 NC). Every figure on this page is counted instead from the 18 bouts Cage Brothers holds a result for — 13 wins, 4 losses and 1 no contest — because 19 bouts from the official record are not in the history we hold.

The 13 wins break down as 4 by knockout, 6 by submission and 2 by decision — 10 of 13 inside the distance, a finish rate of 77%. Across the 16 of 18 bouts with a recorded finishing round, the average bout lasted 4 minutes 54 seconds.

Gregory Babene has been stopped 3 times in the 18 bouts on file — 1 by knockout and 2 by submission — which is 17% of them. The last 2 bouts on file are both losses.

The 18 bouts Cage Brothers holds a result for include no title fights and no main events. One of them has come since October 2024.

Set against the 396 Middleweight fighters Cage Brothers holds eight or more bouts for, Gregory Babene has a finish rate above 56% of them, a record of avoiding stoppage above 50% of them and a two-year bout count above 59% of them. The comparison is made inside the division rather than across the whole roster, because how often a division finishes depends heavily on what it weighs.

Gregory Babene is listed at 6ft with a reach of 73in and is 42, born 25 January 1984.

These figures are recomputed from Gregory Babene’s bout history each time results are synced, so they follow the record rather than a fixed snapshot.
