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.

TJ Dillashaw Sparring Head Kick Video Draws Praise From Coach

TJ Dillashaw Sparring Head Kick Video Draws Praise From Coach

TJ Dillashaw is the two-time UFC bantamweight champion whose sparring head kick left his coach calling it beautiful. Dillashaw read the opening and whipped a clean kick upstairs that sent his training partner crashing to the mat, prompting an instant compliment from his corner. That kind of precision defined his mixed martial arts career. Dillashaw shocked the world at UFC 173 in 2014, dropping Renan Barão in the first round before finishing him with a head kick in the fifth to win the title. Known for explosive footwork, relentless angles and ruthless timing, he retired in 2022 with a 17-5 record. In 2026 this clip is a devastating reminder that in combat sports, sparring partners pay the price for perfection. #ufc #mma #sparring #tjdillashaw

Dillashaw and Cruz Say Eye-Poke Victims Share Blame, Defending Gane Against Criticism

TJ Dillashaw and Dominick Cruz drop a huge take!!! The last year Ciryl Gane has been under fire from the MMA world for some questionable moves while fighting but, the two former champions don't share the same view as people. Cruz and Dillashaw both agree if someone is able to eye poke you, that's on you. Both men agree if you let someone in range and they eye poke you then it was your fault for being in range which will upset a lot of UFC fans. Gane is set to defend his heavyweight title at Madison Square Garden against Josh Hokit at UFC 334. What are your thoughts on this?
