Tale of the tape counts measurables only — heart, chin and timing don't show up on a stat sheet.

Physical stats are exact; records are a snapshot as of early 2025

Compare any two UFC fighters

The tale of the tape is how every big fight gets sized up: two fighters, one chart, every measurable lined up head to head. This free comparison tool lets you build that chart for any two fighters in our roster — current champions, contenders and all-time legends. Height, reach, age, stance, division, country and a full record breakdown, with the advantage on each row marked for you.

What the tale of the tape tells you — and what it doesn't

A reach or height edge shapes how a fight plays out at range, and finishing rate hints at how a fighter tends to win. But the tape only measures the body. Timing, fight IQ, cardio, chin and grappling decide the rest — which is exactly why we built the fight predictor to weigh those factors, and why MMA math falls apart so often.
