KD / 15 leads this profile at the 70th percentile of Bantamweight peers (0.34). The path in this sample uses knockdown rate and control time together.
SLpM is significant strikes landed per minute. KD/15 is knockdowns per 15 minutes. CTRL/15 is control time per 15 minutes. Each rate uses career totals when the rollup has no per-minute column. Peers are the 315 Bantamweight fighters with at least 10 minutes on the career offense rollup. The roster has no active flag and no gender column, so everyone listed at this weight is included.
