What counts. A knockout here is any bout the official record ends by KO/TKO, including a doctor’s stoppage, which UFCStats files as its own method. 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. The country the event was held in, from the official event table. 17 countrys withheld. Ireland, Netherlands, Azerbaijan, South Korea, Poland, New Zealand and 11 more rest on fewer than 30 fights (296 between them), so no percentage is printed for them — a rate off a handful of bouts is arithmetic, not a statistic. 187 fights are outside this table. They were fought on a date that table gives no single venue for — mostly the five nights the UFC ran two cards, which the fight record cannot split between them. They are not missing from our record — they are on the year-by-year archive like every other bout; there is simply no row here for them to sit in. 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.
