What it measures. Knockdowns scored per 15 min. Higher is better. Formula. Knockdowns scored divided by minutes fought, times 15. Minimum sample. Career: at least 5 fights and 30 minutes of fight time. Last five: at least 3 fights and 15 minutes of fight time. The Sample column is the amount behind each figure (minutes of fight time). 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.
