What it measures. Significant strike accuracy %. Higher is better. Formula. Significant strikes landed divided by thrown. The rank uses a confidence bound so a small sample cannot top the table; the value shown is the raw percentage. Minimum sample. Career: at least 5 fights and 200 significant strike attempts. Last five: at least 3 fights and 100 significant strike attempts. The Sample column is the amount behind each figure (significant strike attempts). A fighter below the minimum is not ranked and does not appear here; the figure is still shown, greyed, on their own page. Order. The table follows the published rank, which for rate stats is computed from a confidence-adjusted score rather than the raw figure, so the values can sit slightly out of order. The value shown is always the raw figure. Last bout and Active. The date of the fighter's most recent fight in this data. Active means a bout in the last 18 months. Coverage. Every figure is built from UFC fights that have round-by-round data. Some older bouts do not, and are left out rather than estimated. Check us. Rebuilt from the official UFC statistical record on every build; nothing on this page is typed in by hand. Search every fight to filter the same record yourself.
