• Best UFC finishers through April 2026 โ€” the knockout rate rankings

    Through April 2026, the UFC finish rate leaders among fighters with 4+ appearances: Sean O'Malley leads bantamweight at 78% finish rate, all by KO/TKO. Alexandre Pantoja leads flyweight at 71% but split between submissions and stoppages. At heavyweight Tom Aspinall has 91% finish rate across career which remains the most remarkable number in the sport. The interesting development in 2026 is the featherweight division where three fighters have 80%+ finish rates and are all ranked in the top 10 โ€” that's an unusually concentrated power division historically associated with technical decisions rather than stoppages.
