Emiliano Sordi’s record, in numbers

Emiliano Sordi’s official record is 26-14-1. Every figure on this page is counted instead from the 29 bouts Cage Brothers holds a result for — 17 wins, 11 losses and 1 no contest — because 12 bouts from the official record are not in the history we hold.

The 17 wins break down as 12 by knockout, 4 by submission and 1 by decision — 16 of 17 inside the distance, a finish rate of 94%. Across the 28 of 29 bouts with a recorded finishing round, the average bout lasted 5 minutes 4 seconds.

Emiliano Sordi has been stopped 9 times in the 29 bouts on file — 7 by knockout and 2 by submission — which is 31% of them.

Of the 29 bouts Cage Brothers holds a result for, 1 was for a title and 6 were the main event of the card. Three of them have come since September 2024.

Set against the 486 Heavyweight fighters Cage Brothers holds eight or more bouts for, Emiliano Sordi has a finish rate above 81% of them, a record of avoiding stoppage above 24% of them and a two-year bout count above 83% 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.

Emiliano Sordi is listed at 6ft 2in with a reach of 77in, fights orthodox and is 35, born 14 February 1991.

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