Most control time: before 2000
Most time in control of an opponent, as UFCStats records it.
Control time wasn't recorded for fights in 1994–1998 and exists for only 50% of fights in 1999. Fights without it are left out.
UFC 1 (November 1993) is not in UFCStats, so its fights are missing.
34 fighters.
