*Strikes: The power of a punch is often judged in the eye of the beholder. What I might consider a solid shot could be a weak shot in someone else’s mind. Thus, I don’t attempt to judge the power/strength of a punch, due to how subjective it is. However, punches to the head have been divided into two categories to allow some judgement. ‘Straight punches’ are primarily jabs, or your typical quick punch. “Hooks/power shots’ are obviously your hooks, but also your looping, power punches. I only judge shots that cleanly land and/or make a mark/impact/reaction on the opponent. Elbows are marked as an asterisk in the punch category.

*Groundgame: Any strikes landed by fighters while on the ground or some sprawls are kept separate from stand-up strikes. All takedowns and takedown attempts should be accounted. I attempt after each round’s tally to provide descriptive accounts on the ground, so readers may have some information to judge ‘control’ or ‘aggressiveness’.

*Submissions: I only count serious submission attempts. Any attempt that does not last for more than a few seconds, or does not come close to being locked in, I do not consider valid. While there may be some credit deserved for a fighter being conscious of using the ground game, if it is not a serious attempt then it is no more noteworthy than air-jabs that are not intended to land but to judge distance.
