The highest total strike counts in a single UFC fight — every strike landed, significant or not — by one fighter and by both combined.

The Most Total Strikes in a Single UFC Fight

Total strikes capture everything a fighter throws that lands — the significant power shots plus the constant short strikes from top control and the clinch. This record book ranks the highest single-fight total-strike outputs ever recorded, by one fighter and by both fighters combined.

Because ground strikes count here, the leaderboard is a fascinating mix of tireless volume kickboxers and suffocating grapplers who rain down dozens of small strikes from dominant positions. Switch between the Single Fighter and Combined views and filter by division to explore the busiest performances in UFC history.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the record for the most combined total strikes in a UFC fight?
Max Holloway and Calvin Kattar, with 581 total strikes between them. Set at UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Kattar, January 2021. Second: Dricus Du Plessis vs Khamzat Chimaev (574). Measured over UFC bouts with round-by-round statistics recorded on MMA.SOCIAL. A bout with no per-round data cannot appear here.
How are total strikes different from significant strikes?
Total strikes count every strike that lands, including short control strikes and pawing jabs thrown from top position or the clinch. Significant strikes exclude those low-impact shots. That is why grapplers who smother opponents on the mat can top the total-strike list while volume kickboxers dominate the significant-strike version.
Why do the total and significant records have different leaders?
A ground-control specialist can pile up hundreds of small strikes from inside an opponent's guard that count toward total strikes but not significant strikes, whereas a stand-up sniper lands fewer but more meaningful blows. The two lists therefore reward completely different styles.
Do these totals include all rounds of the fight?
Yes. Each figure sums a fighter's total strikes across every round of a single bout, so five-round main events and title fights naturally give athletes the most room to accumulate huge numbers.
Are the no-time-limit fights of the 1990s included?
Yes. A fight record is the whole bout, whatever its format, so the long single rounds of the early UFC count here in full. It is the single-round boards that are restricted to five-minute rounds, because one 30-minute round cannot be compared with a modern five.
