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. Every calendar year on the official record. 2026 is not finished. The last row covers the 399 fights of 2026 that have happened so far, and it will move as the year goes on — every other row is a complete calendar year. 2 years withheld. 1994, 1998 rest on fewer than 30 fights (50 between them), so no percentage is printed for them — a rate off a handful of bouts is arithmetic, not a statistic. 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. Search every fight to filter the same record yourself, or start from the year-by-year archive.
