Edson Barboza

Based on the supplied stats, Barboza operates at a relatively high striking pace: 4.14 significant strikes landed per minute (SLpM) and 4.68 absorbed per minute (SApM). The gap between those two numbers indicates that, over the recorded sample, his fights can include sustained exchanges where he is hit at a similar or higher rate than he lands. His listed striking defense is 55%, which suggests he avoids a meaningful share of incoming attempts, though the absorption rate shows opponents still connect regularly. His wrestling and grappling activity, as captured here, is modest on offense (0.43 takedowns per 15 minutes; 0.1 submissions per 15 minutes). Defensively, the snapshot lists 73% takedown defense, implying he is not an easy takedown for opponents in aggregate, even if he is not pursuing many takedowns himself. Results in the recent log show a mix of stoppages and decisions across multiple rounds, including five-round unanimous decisions at Featherweight and several KO/TKO outcomes both for and against him. A careful inference from the combination of pace stats and result types is that his bouts frequently play out at a meaningful tempo and can swing on damage and durability rather than sustained top-control grappling. Recent form in the provided list trends downward, with three straight losses culminating in a round-one KO/TKO loss at Lightweight on 2025-12-06.
