How to read the comparison
Start with the Tale of the Tape. Height and reach describe range, and the ▲ marker shows who holds the physical edge. Then move to the stat bars. Each bar is scaled to a sensible maximum for that metric, so a longer bar always means a higher number, and the badge tells you which corner leads. Finally, read the Statistical edge paragraph, which turns the numbers into plain English.
No single number settles a fight. A fighter with a modest takedown average may still be hard to take down, and a high striking accuracy can come from throwing few, safe strikes. Look for patterns across several rows rather than one flashy figure. Our guides on comparing MMA fighters and reading UFC fight stats walk through this process step by step.
Glossary of metrics
- Height and reach
- Height is standing height. Reach is fingertip-to-fingertip arm span. The difference between them is the ape index.
- Stance
- Orthodox fighters lead with the left hand and foot, southpaws with the right.
- Record (W-L-D)
- Professional wins, losses and draws. No contests are not counted here.
- Win rate and finish rate
- Win rate is wins divided by total fights. Finish rate is KO/TKO plus submission wins divided by total wins. Learn the finish rate calculation.
- Striking accuracy
- The share of significant strikes thrown that land.
- Significant strikes landed per minute
- How often a fighter lands meaningful strikes, a measure of output.
- Striking defense
- The share of an opponent's significant strikes that do not land.
- Takedown average
- Takedowns landed per 15 minutes, which is the length of a three-round fight.
- Takedown accuracy and defense
- How often a fighter's takedown attempts succeed, and how often they stop the opponent's.
- Submission average
- Submission attempts per 15 minutes. Attempts are not finishes.

Frequently asked questions
Is the fighter comparison tool free?
Yes. It is free, needs no account and stores nothing on our servers. Your recent comparisons stay in your own browser.
How accurate is the fighter data?
Records, height, reach and country come from public sources and are checked before publishing. Rates such as accuracy and takedown defense are rounded and marked approximate. Treat the dataset as an editorial snapshot and verify against official sources.
Why do some stats show n/a?
We only publish a figure when we can stand behind it. If a rate or win-method split is not available for a fighter, the tool shows n/a instead of guessing.
Does a longer reach mean a fighter will win?
No. Reach helps with range control, but timing, footwork, wrestling and conditioning matter as much. See our guide to reach in MMA.
Is the statistical edge a prediction or betting tip?
No. The summary describes numbers in a limited dataset. It is not a prediction, odds or financial advice.
How do I report a wrong number?
Use the contact page with the fighter's name, the figure and a source. Verified corrections are applied quickly.
