Based on the supplied statistics, Bonfim operates at a relatively high striking pace, landing 5.51 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 3.71 per minute. His listed significant strike defense is 65%, which aligns with the idea that he can limit clean looks at times, though the small five-fight sample makes any trend tentative. His results show a strong finishing presence but also meaningful finishing exposure. Two of his five fights are wins, including one KO/TKO, and his three losses have all come inside the distance (two by KO/TKO and one by submission). That pattern suggests his UFC fights have often been decisive rather than grinding to close scorecards, with the exception of his unanimous decision win over Vinc Pichel. The recent form in the record is negative: his last two appearances (2025-02-15 and 2025-11-08) ended in KO/TKO losses, and both came before the final horn. That said, he has also demonstrated the ability to go three rounds when needed, as shown by the three-round decision win in 2024. Wrestling-related metrics indicate some offensive mixing (takedown average 1.06) and a relatively strong takedown defense number (76%), while a submission average of 0 suggests limited submission output in this dataset.
