The book presents plenty of interesting facts and statistics regarding the impact of various factors on the fight outcome -- things like age, height, reach, etc. How much more likely is a fighter to win if he fights in his hometown? What are the most common types of injuries, and how do they change with age? Etc.
One of the most interesting chapters to me was the one where he talks about a statistical model to predict the fight outcome. This model predicts the outcome correctly in 64% of cases. The model is not predictive enough to make money gambling (and if it did bookies would quickly later the odds anyhow), but it is fascinating reading.
