Built from Francois Botha’s own numbers — record, form, fighting style and standout rate. Not reported prose. All-rounder
6' 2" orthodox all-rounder campaigning at Heavyweight. Top 2% of Heavyweights: avoid 77% of the strikes thrown at them and absorb only 1.05 significant strikes a minute.
The facts, plainly — vitals and record from public UFC statistics; nickname, nationality, hometown and camp from the public fighter register. A field we can't source stays “pending”; it never shows a fake value.

Career averages over Francois Botha’s UFC bouts, straight from public UFC statistics — the same eight numbers on their official record. These are the source’s figures, not our read: what we make of them is the card below.
Six 0–100 scores, each a percentile rank against the Heavyweight field — not against the whole roster. Tap any i for what a score measures.
No zone data
UFCStats has no per-zone significant-strike breakdown on file for this fighter yet — usually because they have not fought in the UFC, or their bouts predate zone-level recording.
No takedown data
UFCStats records no takedown or submission activity for this fighter in either direction — usually a fighter with no UFC bout on the tape. A row of zeroes would read as a measured weakness; this is an absence, and we show it as one.
Pro record: 0-1. A fight-by-fight timeline appears here once Francois Botha has a UFC bout on the official record.
The camp on the record and the hometown on the record. Every pin was looked up by name in OpenStreetMap’s gazetteer and stored with the answer it gave; nothing here is estimated.
