Based on the supplied statistics and results, Wells’ UFC sample suggests a fighter who can blend takedowns with finishing threats while also being capable of going to decision. His listed takedown average (3.06 per 15 minutes) and submission average (1.3 per 15 minutes) point to meaningful grappling activity. At the same time, his record includes two KO/TKO wins and one submission win, indicating he has finished fights via both striking and grappling. In terms of pace and exchanges, his striking volume is modest in the snapshot (2.35 significant strikes landed per minute), while his absorbed rate is lower (1.28 per minute). That gap can be consistent with controlled stretches where opponents have fewer chances to throw, though that is an inference rather than a stated fact. His recent sequence shows variance in outcomes: a round-3 submission loss (2023-08-05), a split decision loss (2024-02-10), and then a unanimous decision win (2025-11-01). Earlier in the run, his finishes came in rounds 1 and 2, suggesting that when he does get stoppages, they have occurred relatively early in this dataset. Defensively, the snapshot lists 48% striking defense and 50% takedown defense, but the small fight count means those rates should be treated cautiously.
