Kai Kamaka III completed 0 takedowns; Dakota Hope completed 1. Takedown counts describe completed entries, not how long either fighter controlled a position or how much damage followed.

The judges determined the outcome round by round using effective striking and grappling. Cumulative strike and takedown totals are useful context, but they do not independently establish which rounds a fighter won.

Fight Duration & Statistical Interpretation

The fight lasted 15:00 of active round time, ending at 5:00 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.
