Kamaru Usman

Based on the provided stats, Usman operates with a relatively steady striking pace (4.16 significant strikes landed per minute) while absorbing 2.67 per minute, suggesting a positive strike differential in aggregate. His listed striking defense is 55%, indicating he avoids a little over half of opponents’ significant strike attempts. The grappling profile in the snapshot points to an approach that can include wrestling as a meaningful layer: 2.79 takedowns per 15 minutes with very strong takedown defense (89%). His submission average is low (0.1 per 15 minutes), which, along with the recent fight log, may indicate that when grappling appears, it is more often used for control, position, or scoring than for frequent submission chains—though that is an inference rather than a stated fact. Career finishing tendency is mixed in the provided summary: 4 knockout wins and 1 submission win are recorded. The recent fight list also shows multiple five-round decisions and several decision outcomes overall, which supports the observation that a meaningful portion of his visible UFC run has extended deep into fights. Recent form in the listed fights includes a five-round decision loss at Middleweight (2026) after a five-round unanimous decision win at Welterweight (2025), reflecting movement between divisions in the supplied record.

Fight Detective lists Kamaru Usman with a current ELO of 1489.2 and a peak ELO of 1506.1 (dated 2025-06-14). In this system, ELO is a single-number rating used to summarize competitive strength based on results over time; it is most useful for comparing a fighter’s rating to their own history (current vs. peak) or to other fighters rated within the same framework. The snapshot flags his momentum as “stable,” and marks him as active, with a last fight date of 2026-07-18. The ELO record is labeled under the Middleweight weight class, while the recent-fights list includes both Welterweight and Middleweight bouts. That mix suggests the rating should be interpreted as a rolling measure rather than a strict, single-division résumé summary. Supporting performance stats in the snapshot include 4.16 SLpM, 2.67 SApM, 55% striking defense, 89% takedown defense, and 2.79 takedowns averaged, with 0.1 submissions averaged. Evidence-based strengths from those numbers include defensive takedown reliability and a positive striking pace differential. Potential exposure areas include any opponent-driven volatility not captured by averages, and the fact that the provided method breakdown and fight log do not fully agree, limiting confidence in outcome-type summaries. This ELO and stat set describe what has been recorded in this dataset; it should not be treated as a guarantee of outcomes or a complete accounting of every bout detail.
