Since joining the UFC in 2020, Josh Parisian has a record of 15-5 overall with a 2-2 record. He is the definition of a heavyweight fighter in the dictionary: big, strong, and he can throw very powerful punches.
The guy doesn’t usually hit a lot of big shots (4.97 per minute), but when he does, it almost always ends in a knockout. He has won 11 fights by technical knockout or knockout.
When it comes to defending against strikes, Parisians are not very good. Not very well, he takes in 5.11 significant strikes per minute. However, the heavyweight at 265 pounds rarely succumbs to powerful blows. He has only lost two fights by KO or TKO, which is evidence.
Parisian’s takedown defense, which is only 42%, is another major flaw. In light of the fact that heavyweights rarely have the opportunity to defend against takedowns, that number is actually horrendous. However, he will probably have to do so on Saturday.
