381 peers

CTRL / 15 leads this profile at the 64th percentile of Welterweight peers (3:48). That edge is modest, in the upper middle of the Welterweight rollup.

SLpM is significant strikes landed per minute. KD/15 is knockdowns per 15 minutes. CTRL/15 is control time per 15 minutes. Each rate uses career totals when the rollup has no per-minute column. Peers are the 381 Welterweight fighters with at least 10 minutes on the career offense rollup. The roster has no active flag and no gender column, so everyone listed at this weight is included.
