The most head, body, and leg strikes ever landed in a single UFC fight — switch targets to see who dominated each zone.

The Most Head, Body, and Leg Strikes in a Single UFC Fight

Where a fighter aims tells the story of how they win. This record book breaks single-fight striking down by target zone — head, body, and leg — and ranks the most dominant performances in each. Switch tabs to see who owned each zone.

Max Holloway's assault on Calvin Kattar rewrote the head and body records in one night, while Karol Rosa landed 95 leg strikes on Irene Aldana at UFC 296 in December 2023 — in a three-round fight she still lost. Use the Head, Body, and Leg tabs and the division filter to explore targeted striking mastery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the Head, Body, and Leg tabs show?
Each tab ranks single-fight performances by significant strikes landed to that specific target zone. Head strikes reflect knockout-hunting output, body strikes reveal patient investment in breaking an opponent down, and leg strikes highlight the calf-kick specialists who chop opponents' bases apart.
Why does targeting matter in scoring a fight?
Strike distribution reveals a fighter's game plan. Heavy body and leg investment often pays off in later rounds as an opponent slows, while head-hunting chases the immediate finish. Comparing the three lists shows how differently elite strikers attack.
Do these records only count significant strikes?
Yes. Each zone counts significant strikes landed to the head, body, or legs — the meaningful, damaging blows — rather than glancing or control strikes, giving a clean picture of targeted offense.
Do head, body and leg strikes add up to significant strikes?
Yes. Every significant strike is logged against exactly one target, so a fighter's head, body and leg strikes for a bout add up to their significant strikes landed in that bout. The three tabs split one total by zone rather than counting anything twice.
