Every FightingData metric is computed from round-by-round UFC fight data (UFC fights only; source: UFCStats.com). The formulas below are rendered directly from the code that computes them. When a fight fails a data-quality gate — e.g. control time recorded as "--" in the source, or an early-era fight with a non-standard round format — it is excluded from that metric rather than counted as zero, and the metric shows "—" when too little data survives. Career curves are compared against league percentile bands computed only over fighters whose careers reached each minute mark.
