KD / 15 leads this profile at the 50th percentile of 250 lbs peers (0.00). These rates sit around the middle of the 250 lbs rollup. SLpM is the quieter tool, at the 6th percentile.

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 18 250 lbs 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.
