Career rates

Where he stands

JunYong Park is 9-4 across 13 fights on our tape. Our rating has him at 1579 — it moves with every result and weights who he beat, so a win over a ranked opponent counts for far more than one over a debutant. A record on its own says very little in this sport — two fighters at 12-3 can have faced completely different opposition, which is exactly the gap the rating is built to close.

He's a volume striker

JunYong lands 4.6 significant strikes a minute and absorbs 3.8. That differential is modest, which puts him in the large middle of the division rather than the top of it. His takedown defense sits at 55% — for a striker that's the number that decides whether he gets to fight his fight at all.

Age matters more here than in most sports

JunYong is 35. MMA decline tends to arrive suddenly rather than gradually — durability goes before output does, so a fighter can look sharp on the stats right up until he doesn't. The model factors age in, and it's one of the places we'd trust the number least on any individual fight.

How the model reads him

Two ratings produce a baseline, then the matchup adjusts it: who lands more, who absorbs more, who controls where the fight happens. That's the whole shape of it for JunYong and for everyone else — no manual adjustments, no fighter the model likes.

What we'd flag

Our tape runs from 2015 across UFC and Contender Series bouts, so a long career elsewhere shows only the part we can measure. And variance in this sport is enormous — one punch settles a fight the better fighter was winning, which is why nothing here should be read off a single result.
