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 | 2 / 12 |
| Submission attempts | 0 |
| Control time | 6:33 |
| TDs defended | 7 / 12 |

Rates above are per 15 minutes of UFC fight time (46min 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.

Zhikui holds steady (+0% per round through round 3). Within fights that reached round 3, Zhikui sustains 99% of round-1 output by round 3 (3 bouts).

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 | 2.1 | 1.2 | 2.2 | 0.13 | 14% | 4 |
| R2 | 4.1 | 2.1 | 2.3 | 0.47 | 17% | 3 |
| R3 | 2.2 | 1.1 | 4.1 | 0.20 | 12% | 3 |
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.
