The submission determined the outcome. A fighter can win by submission without leading the significant-strike totals or completing a takedown; the finishing hold, rather than a volume comparison, decides the result.

Fight Duration & Statistical Interpretation

The fight lasted 14:00 of active round time, ending at 4:42 of round 3. Rest periods between rounds are excluded.

These are full-fight totals. They do not establish the order of exchanges, individual round scores, corner instructions, or changes in pace. Significant strikes are a subset of total strikes, so the two measures should not be used interchangeably.
