Inputs

Overturned or stopped bouts with no result. They don't count as wins, losses or draws.

Knockouts, technical knockouts and stoppages from strikes, including doctor and corner stoppages.

MMA and grappling only; enter 0 for boxing.

Result

Win percentage

84.6%

A 22-3-1 (1 NC) record gives a win percentage of 84.6%, with 72.7% of wins finished inside the distance.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Add wins, losses and draws to count the bouts with a result; no contests are left out because nobody won them

    22+3+1=26

  2. Win percentage is wins divided by those bouts, as a percent

    2226×100=84.6154%

  3. Leaving draws out, divide wins by wins plus losses instead

    2225×100=88%

  4. Finishes are wins by KO/TKO plus wins by submission

    12+4=16

  5. Finish rate is the share of wins that ended inside the distance

    1622×100=72.7273%

  6. The wins that were not finishes went to the judges, so subtract the finishes to count decision wins

    22−16=6

  7. Written as a fight record (wins-losses-draws, no contests in brackets)

    22-3-1 (1 NC)

20 quick questions built from this calculator's formula: work out results, predict what happens when an input changes, and work backward from an answer. Every answer comes with the working.

What this calculator does

Turn a boxing or MMA record into clear numbers: how often the fighter wins, and how those wins came. A record is written as wins, losses and draws, such as 22-3-1, with no contests noted separately. Behind those three numbers is the question fans really argue about: how did the wins come? A fighter who finishes most opponents is a different prospect from one who wins close decisions, even with the same record.

From the record, the calculator works out the win percentage and the finish rate. The finish rate is the share of wins that ended inside the distance, meaning before the scheduled rounds ran out. You also get the KO/TKO (knockout or technical knockout) share of wins and the win percentage with draws left out. It shows how many wins went to the judges and how often the fighter has been stopped. A table splits the wins and losses by method. For team standings and ties, the winning percentage calculator is the better fit.

Where it's used

Why this math matters outside the classroom:

  • Comparing prospects. Fans compare two fighters with 85% win rates and find one finishes 73% of wins while the other finishes 30%.
  • Fight-card graphics. Broadcast researchers turn a 22-3-1 record into an 84.6% win rate and a 16-of-22 finish record for an on-screen graphic.
  • Gym fighter profiles. A boxing club lists each amateur's record, such as 12 wins in 15 bouts, as an 80% win rate on its noticeboard.
  • Percent practice. Students find 12 knockouts out of 22 wins as a percent: 12 ÷ 22 × 100 = 54.5%.
  • Matchmaking. Regional matchmakers check how often a fighter has been stopped, such as 2 of 3 losses, before pairing them with a heavy hitter.

How to use it

  1. Enter the wins, losses, draws and no contests from the fighter's official record.
  2. Enter how many wins came by KO or TKO and how many by submission. For boxing, leave submissions at 0.
  3. Enter how many losses came by KO or TKO and by submission. Losses not in either group are counted as decisions or other results such as disqualifications.
  4. Read the win percentage, the finish rate and the method table.

What the inputs mean

No contests
A no contest is a bout with no result, for example after an accidental foul early in a fight or an overturned result. It is shown in the record but not counted as a win, loss or draw, so it doesn't affect any of the rates.
Wins by KO or TKO
Count every stoppage from strikes: knockouts, technical knockouts, referee stoppages, and doctor or corner stoppages.
Wins by submission
Submissions by tap-out (physical or verbal) or technical submission. Boxing records have none.

Formula and method

bouts with a result = wins + losses + draws
win % = wins ÷ (wins + losses + draws) × 100
win % without draws = wins ÷ (wins + losses) × 100
finish rate = (KO/TKO wins + submission wins) ÷ wins × 100
KO share = KO/TKO wins ÷ wins × 100
decision wins = wins − KO/TKO wins − submission wins

Win percentage counts every bout that produced a result, so a draw counts as a bout that was not won. No contests are left out entirely because they have no result. Some fans prefer to leave draws out as well, so that figure is shown too.

The finish rate looks only at the wins and asks how many ended before the final bell. It is a measure of how a fighter wins, not how often. The KO share does the same for strikes alone, which is the figure boxing usually quotes as a knockout ratio.

On the losing side, losses by stoppage divided by all losses shows how a fighter tends to lose. A low figure means most defeats were decisions.

Worked example

An invented MMA fighter is 22-3-1 with 1 no contest. Of the 22 wins, 12 were by KO/TKO and 4 by submission; of the 3 losses, 1 was by KO/TKO and 1 by submission.

  1. Bouts with a result: 22 + 3 + 1 = 26. Win percentage: 22 ÷ 26 × 100 = 84.6%.
  2. Leaving the draw out: 22 ÷ 25 × 100 = 88.0%.
  3. Finishes: 12 + 4 = 16, so the finish rate is 16 ÷ 22 × 100 = 72.7%, and the KO share is 12 ÷ 22 × 100 = 54.5%.
  4. Decision wins: 22 − 16 = 6. Losses by stoppage: 2 of 3, or 66.7%.

Result: A 22-3-1 (1 NC) record gives a win percentage of 84.6%, with 72.7% of wins finished inside the distance.

Understanding the result

Win percentage says how often a fighter wins. Finish rate says how decisively. Two fighters with an 85% win rate can have finish rates of 30% and 80%, which usually means very different styles.

Records are easiest to compare at similar levels of competition. An early-career record built against opponents with losing records tends to look better than it is, which no formula can correct.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Draws count as bouts in the main win percentage; no contests are excluded from every rate.
  • Every win and loss not entered as KO/TKO or submission is treated as a decision or another result such as a disqualification.
  • The calculator works from the numbers you enter; it doesn't look up any fighter's record.
  • Amateur and professional records are kept separately, and some organizations count exhibitions differently. Use one record at a time.
  • Strength of schedule, title fights and recent form are not measured.

Frequently asked questions

Do no contests count against a fighter?

No. A no contest has no winner or loser, so it is shown in brackets after the record and left out of every percentage. A 10-2 record with 1 no contest has the same win rate as a plain 10-2 record.

What is a good finish rate?

There is no official benchmark. The finish rate tells you what share of wins ended early. Use it to compare fighters in the same division and era, where opponents and rules are similar.

How is KO percentage worked out in boxing?

The usual knockout ratio is knockout and TKO wins divided by total wins. A boxer with 18 wins, 15 by knockout, has a KO share of 15 ÷ 18 = 83.3%. Some people divide by all bouts instead, which gives a lower number, so check which version is being quoted.

Why are there two win percentages?

Draws are rare but they do happen, and people disagree about whether a draw should count. The main figure treats a draw as a bout not won; the second leaves draws out and divides by wins plus losses only.

How this calculator is checked

Method: Standard record arithmetic: win percentage over bouts with a result, finish rate and KO ratio over wins. Conventions vary; the page states the ones used. The calculation is covered by automated tests with known reference values and edge cases. Last updated 2026-10-18. Found a problem? Tell us.
