Of the 14 bouts Cage Brothers holds a result for, 1 was for a title and 4 were the main event of the card. One of them has come since October 2024.

Set against the 624 Lightweight fighters Cage Brothers holds eight or more bouts for, Will Starks has a finish rate above 19% of them, a record of avoiding stoppage above 56% of them and a two-year bout count above 63% 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.

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