How to read these figures

Rates are per minute fought over the stored bouts. Absorbed strikes and defense count only bouts where the opponent’s statistics are published. Control time is published for bouts from 2019.

Only UFC bouts are ranked: other promotions publish far fewer fight statistics, so their samples are not comparable.

This page shows results and statistics only. It contains no sportsbook prices or betting lines. Current markets and StatsNext research are in the app.

Go deeper in StatsNext

  • Each fighter's Research link opens Fighter Research in StatsNext: the same rates over the last 3 and 5 bouts, outcomes by method and round, positional advances and the side-by-side matchup for the next bout.
  • UFC striking statistics

These tables stay free to read.
