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.

Unidentified street fighter lands spinning elbow in viral clip recalling Jon Jones technique

Unidentified street fighter lands spinning elbow in viral clip recalling Jon Jones technique

Spinning elbows are one of combat sports’ most dangerous strikes, and this scrapper landed one like a prime Jon Jones. Mid-scuffle, he turns his back, whips the elbow around with explosive hip rotation and cracks his opponent flush, a move most trained fighters never attempt outside the gym. Jones made the technique famous at UFC 94 in 2009, spinning a devastating back elbow into Stephan Bonnar’s face during a breakout light heavyweight performance. That creative, relentless striking helped the future two-division champion build a 28-1 mixed martial arts record, and in 2026 street fighters are still trying to recreate his phenomenal highlights. #mma #jonjones #reels #viral #knockout
