Striking zones
Per-15-minute breakdown — where this fighter lands, and where they get hit.
Ranks are division percentiles — e.g. 90th = top 10% of the weight class. Higher is always better: on “absorbed” rows the rank is inverted, so a high rank means they get hit less.

UFCStats career rates, per 15 minutes. Percentiles vs the division; absorbed is inverted so higher is better.
Grappling
Per-15-minute breakdown of takedowns, submissions, and ground control.
Career totals — landed / attempted, control time
| Takedowns | 3 / 7 |
| Submission attempts | 1 |
| Control time | 4:20 |
| TDs defended | 1 / 1 |
| Control absorbed | 0:14 |
Rates above are per 15 minutes of UFC fight time (21min total). Value colors reflect the per-15 rate’s percentile against the current weight class baseline; raw totals without a division reference stay neutral.
Pace & fade
Round-by-round work rate, and whether they fade.
Abreu hasn't reached the third round in enough UFC bouts to read a reliable pace pattern — most of their fights end early. The round-by-round pace below is shown for what rounds there are.
Faded points are drawn from a single bout that reached that round, so they’re less reliable than the solid points averaged over many fights.
Rounds backed by fewer than 2 bouts are drawn smaller and dimmed with an n= count — a deep round seen in one or two fights is a thin sample, not a settled rate. Per-round bout counts are in the breakdown below.
Full per-round breakdown
What drives the pace · per round
The composite output line above blends these three inputs — splitting them out shows whether the work rate is built on striking volume, takedown pressure, or top control, and which input fades.
| Round | Output / min | Sig landed / min | Sig absorbed / min | TD att / min | Control | Bouts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| R1 | 4.2 | 3.6 | 3.9 | 0.10 | 8% | 2 |
| R2 | 6.2 | 3.8 | 3.8 | 0.33 | 37% | 2 |
| R3 | 7.6 | 4.2 | 4.4 | 0.80 | 26% | 1 |
Output / minis the headline work rate — significant strikes landed, plus 3 per takedown attempt, plus one per 15 seconds of control — so a takedown-and-grind round isn’t scored as idle the way bare striking volume would. The remaining columns are its components. Per-round rates use UFCStats per-round data (available for ~95% of bouts since 2008). Each round’s rates are averaged only over bouts that reached that round, so the bout count shrinks as rounds deepen. The final round of a finished fight is pro-rated by its actual length.

Per-bout quality scoring: champion = 100; same-division ranks 1–5 = 90 → 78 linear; ranks 6–15 = 75 → 60 linear; cross-division champion = 78; cross-division ranked = 45; title-fight challenger (no rank signal) = 50, bumped to 65 when opp had an elite career UFC record at the time. Unranked opponents are scored on UFC record-at-time (long-tenured vet 60, contender-level 45, established 30, building 18, unproven 8). P4P top-10 at time adds +5; top-3 adds +8 (capped at 100). The Schedule Score combines schedule strength (65%) and quality wins (35%), then is held toward a rookie baseline for fighters with limited UFC experience so a thin résumé reads honestly low.
