Per-15-minute rates and totals come from UFCStats fight-totals across this fighter’s UFC career. Percentile context is computed against every fighter currently assigned to this weight class with at least two recorded UFC bouts. “Absorbed” percentiles are inverted so “top of division” always means better outcome.

Pace & fade

How this fighter's work rate holds up as a fight wears on — round-by-round output (striking, takedown attempts, and control time combined), and whether they fade. The fade % compares round-3 output to round 1 over bouts that reached the third round.

Rounds backed by fewer than 2 bouts are drawn smaller and dimmed with an n= count — a deep round seen in one or two fights is a thin sample, not a settled rate. Per-round bout counts are in the breakdown below.

What drives the pace · per round

The composite output line above blends these three inputs — splitting them out shows whether the work rate is built on striking volume, takedown pressure, or top control, and which input fades.

Output / minis the headline work rate — significant strikes landed, plus 3 per takedown attempt, plus one per 15 seconds of control — so a takedown-and-grind round isn’t scored as idle the way bare striking volume would. The remaining columns are its components. Per-round rates use UFCStats per-round data (available for ~95% of bouts since 2008). Each round’s rates are averaged only over bouts that reached that round, so the bout count shrinks as rounds deepen. The final round of a finished fight is pro-rated by its actual length.

How to read this

Every UFC opponent is scored by where they were ranked and what their UFC record was at the time of that fight — not where they sit today. Both are 0–100 ratings (shown as %). Schedule strength is the recency-weighted average of opponent quality; win quality scores actual results against that schedule (finishes count more than splits, losses cost the full opp quality). The headline is a percentile rank against every UFC fighter with at least three resolved bouts. Note: UFC ranking data is sparse before December 2018, so legacy-era fighters score from opponent UFC record-at-time when ranks are missing.

Per-bout quality scoring: champion = 100; same-division ranks 1–5 = 90 → 78 linear; ranks 6–15 = 75 → 60 linear; cross-division champion = 78; cross-division ranked = 45; title-fight challenger (no rank signal) = 50, bumped to 65 when opp had an elite career UFC record at the time. Unranked opponents are scored on UFC record-at-time (long-tenured vet 60, contender-level 45, established 30, building 18, unproven 8). P4P top-10 at time adds +5; top-3 adds +8 (capped at 100). The Schedule Score combines schedule strength (65%) and quality wins (35%), then is held toward a rookie baseline for fighters with limited UFC experience so a thin résumé reads honestly low.
