They splash some numbers up on the screen and everyone just falls in line taking these numbers and percentages like they are factual and indisputable.

Thomas Hamilton - Why do people give so much credence to this nonsense then?
Because most people are innumerate; they see the numbers and assume it must be true. Can't argue with science! Also, it's very hard to argue effectively about fights. Very few people record fights and rewatch them enough times to accurately score a fight. And if they do, it's not like anyone is going to check on them, so they can be easily ignored.
Numbers are objective! Adding further, there are widespread myths that these are calculated by "computers"--how could they be? Nevermind that these stats are also recorded by biased people. Look at how statistical studies are reported in popular media: there is almost never anything accurately reported stats are accurately reflected as a probability of a measurement falling in a particular range, not a number let alone talking about things like measurement error, bias, the fact that correlation isn't causation, etc.
And make no mistake, fight organizations benefit from pretending these numbers are real as much or more as the entities that create them. These stats make mma look and feel like a legit sporting event, just like baseball, football, etc. Stephan 1 Brenneman. Charlie 1 Brilz. Jason 1 Brookins. Jonathan 2 Brown. Matt 1 Carwin.
