How these scores are calculated
Fight IQ = 40% striking-accuracy percentile + 30% striking-defense percentile + 30% takedown-defense percentile within the division.
Requires 3 UFC bouts, 15 measured minutes, at least 10 division peers, 100 strike attempts, 100 opponent strike attempts and 10 opponent takedown attempts.
Cardio = 100 × the median late/early significant-strike attempt rate ratio, capped at 100. Compare rounds 3+ with rounds 1–2 within each bout. Requires 3 eligible bouts with at least 60 late-round seconds each. 100 means maintained or higher late pace.
Fight IQ summarizes accuracy and defense; cardio summarizes retained pace. Style, opponents and grappling affect both. These scores do not measure intelligence, physical fitness or win probability.

Demetrious Johnson Breaks Down Distance Control with Arman Tsarukyan on Jaxxon Podcast
Demetrious Johnson is the former UFC flyweight champion whose 11 straight title defenses still set the standard. At the Jaxxon Podcast studio, “Mighty Mouse” took Arman Tsarukyan through a range-control masterclass, showing how small adjustments in stance, feints and footwork decide who controls a fight. Few fighters understand distance better. Johnson set the UFC record with 11 consecutive flyweight title defenses, then won gold in ONE Championship before retiring in 2023 with a 32-4-1 record. Many fans call him the greatest of all time in mixed martial arts because of his complete, flawless game. Seeing a top lightweight contender soak up knowledge in 2026 proves his explosive, relentless, ruthless and devastating technical brilliance still shapes combat sports. #ufc #mma #armantsarukyan #demetriousjohnson
Demetrious Johnson Calls Out Movsar Evloev Over Lack of Finishes in UFC Record
Former UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson has called out undefeated featherweight contender Movsar Evloev over his lack of finishes. 👀 DJ questioned how Evloev can remain undefeated at 20-0 without recording a single finish in the UFC, pointing out that all 10 of his UFC victories have come by decision. Evloev has consistently found ways to win, but his decision-heavy record has sparked debate about whether he deserves a shot at Alexander Volkanovski and the UFC featherweight title at UFC 333. Does an undefeated record speak for itself, or should a title contender be finishing fights to earn their opportunity? 🥊 #DemetriousJohnson #MovsarEvloev #AlexanderVolkanovski #UFC #MMA
Demetrious Johnson says UFC is entertainment, not sport, and that fighters advance by being marketable
Demetrious Johnson broke down why the UFC operates more like WWE than a traditional sport: 🗣️ "When I hear Dana say, 'We want to keep the best athletes on the planet,' then there's another side to it: 'They're not exciting'... They get to pick and choose what they want to do. It’s not a sport, it’s entertainment. Which is fine. Just say it’s entertainment." In real sports, you advance by winning. In the UFC, you advance by being marketable. Via: The Ariel Helwani Show
