Distance, Clinch, and Ground: The Biggest Single Rounds at Every Range
Every round in mixed martial arts is decided somewhere — at range, on the fence, or on the canvas. This record book takes the smallest complete unit of the sport, one five-minute round, and asks who landed the most from each of those three positions.
Splitting by round changes who shows up. A fight-long positional record belongs to whoever held their preferred range the longest, and that usually means a five-round main event. A round record has a hard ceiling of five minutes, so it measures density instead of duration: how completely one athlete owned a single position before the horn. A prelim fighter who took someone down early and never let them up can sit above a champion who ground out twenty-five minutes.
Reading the three tabs
Every entry is one fighter's landed strikes from one position in one scored round, taken from official per-round statistics, with the attempted count shown alongside it. Use the Distance, Clinch, and Ground tabs to move between ranges and the division filter to find the record inside a weight class. Each row shows which round the performance came from and links straight to the fight.
