How these figures are measured
Sig. strikes landed per minute

Strike accuracy, all strikes
Every strike landed as a share of every strike thrown, significant or not, over the career. ESPN's own figure. It is not significant-strike accuracy, which runs lower.
Takedowns per 15 minutes
Takedowns landed for every 15 minutes fought, the length of a three-round bout. Career figure.
Takedown accuracy
Takedowns landed as a share of those attempted. Career figure.
Submission attempts per 15 minutes
Submission attempts for every 15 minutes fought. Career figure.
Finish rate
Share of the wins on file that ended by knockout, technical knockout or submission.
Days since last fight
