KD / 15 leads this profile at the 89th percentile of Middleweight peers (0.88). The path in this sample runs through knockdown rate. SLpM is the quieter tool, at the 22nd 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 285 Middleweight 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.
