Ratings by domain

Highest descriptive scores among fighters with at least 3 detailed UFC fights and a recorded fight in the last two years.

Ratings describe recorded UFC statistics in one area at a time. They are not rankings, not win probabilities and not opponent-adjusted. Areas are never combined into one number. Ratings are domain-specific descriptive scales. Equal point differences across different domains do not imply equal absolute skill differences.

Ratings V2 areas: striking (offense), power, striking defense, takedown defense and wrestling. Wrestling is a provisional measure: its public scale has not passed review, so it is never presented as equally settled.

Chin and Cardio are frozen R1 research candidates on a separate research scale (as of 17 Oct 2026; fights after October 17, 2026 are not reflected), each shown with its exact evidence label. Chin is recorded exposure-adjusted knockdown resistance, not literal biological chin or recovery. Cardio is later-round striking activity and effectiveness retention, not direct physiological fitness.
