How the Stat Builder counts

Pick a stat and the board is built from MMA.SOCIAL's database of UFC fights: the results for wins, finishes and milestones, and the official round-by-round fight statistics for strikes, takedowns, knockdowns and control time. A division counts only the bouts contested at that weight. Fighters level on the figure are ordered by peak ELO, the same rule every leaderboard on the site uses.

Averages and percentages start at 10 UFC fights, so a debut cannot top a career board; change UFC fights to widen it. Milestones count from a fighter's UFC debut, and the one-fight records list each fighter once, with their best bout. For the full list of ready-made boards see every leaderboard.

Fastest to 10 UFC wins - top 10 (MMA.SOCIAL): 1. Royce Gracie (399), 2. Neil Magny (1,001), 3. Joshua Van (1,050), 4. Anderson Silva (1,137), 5. Donald Cerrone (1,169), 6. Waldo Cortes Acosta (1,183), 7. Jim Miller (1,189), 8. Israel Adesanya (1,218), 9. Max Holloway (1,296), 10. Johny Hendricks (1,316)
