Round Dynamics

How fights unfold

Five non-obvious signals pulled from every round of every UFC fight on record. Pace, damage, control, and comebacks.

01 · Damage Curve

Sig strikes by round

Average significant strikes landed per fighter per round. Tells you whether output rises, drops, or holds as fights go long.

02 · Submission Density

Most dangerous grapplers

Submission attempts per round, plus the conversion rate from attempts to actual sub wins. Filters out the busy-but-harmless.

03 · Control = Decision?

Does cage control win you the cards?

Among UFC decisions, the share won by the fighter who logged more ground + clinch strikes (control proxy). Quantifies the 'control bias' in judging.

04 · Comeback Kings

Lost R1, still won

Fighters who were out-struck in round 1 but won the fight. Minimum 3 such situations — pure adversity adjusters.

05 · Pace Effect

The fighters who drag others into fire

When fighter X is in the cage, their opponents' sig-strike rate moves by this much vs. their own career baseline. Positive = X drags fights up in pace.
