How to read the numbers

Significant strikes landed per minute describes a fighter’s recorded striking output, while strikes absorbed per minute describes the opposing output they have taken. Accuracy is a share of attempts, so it should be considered alongside volume and the opponents faced. These are profile aggregates from the source, not measurements taken specifically against this opponent.

Takedowns and submission attempts are expressed per fifteen minutes. That common time basis lets you compare activity, but it does not establish which fighter will control this particular matchup. Takedown accuracy and defense are separate figures: one describes completed attempts, while the other describes resisting the opponent’s attempts. A missing figure remains a dash rather than being treated as zero.

Fight time and the full picture

Average fight time offers context about the length of a fighter’s recorded bouts. It is not a forecast of how long this fight will last. For more context, open each profile’s fight history to review opponents, results, methods and the dates of previous appearances. Those details help keep a rate statistic in perspective.
