With his 60 UFC decisions, Cleary broke D'Amato's record of 53 scorecards, set in 2013. D'Amato's total of 56 in 2016 would have been enough to break his old record if not for Cleary's total.

Cleary and D'Amato tied for the most number of UFC events worked with 22. No other judge submitted full scorecards in more than 15 UFC events.
