READ THE NUMBERS
What these rates mean
SLpM is significant strikes landed per minute. SApM is significant strikes absorbed per minute. Accuracy divides significant strikes landed by attempted; defense measures the percentage of opponents’ significant strike attempts that do not land.
Source and correction standard
Professional record and UFC career statistics link directly to UFCStats. Division status comes from the official UFC rankings. A recent bout can temporarily create differences between sources, so the verification date is shown rather than presenting the data as permanently current.
