What counts. A knockdown is the official record’s own count, added across both corners. Bouts the record carries no knockdown column for are excluded rather than counted as zero. A fight is a UFC bout on the official record with a result. Draws, no-contests and overturned results are excluded from every count on this page; disqualifications and could-not-continues are counted as fights, which is why the knockout, submission and decision shares do not add up to 100%. How this table is cut. Five eras: the no-rules years, the Zuffa reboot, the boom, the expansion decade and the current one. Check us. Every number here is recomputed from the official UFC statistical record on each build — nothing on this page is typed in by hand.
