Splits will (hopefully) be available by the end of Q2 2024. Splits, similiar to other sport statistic websites, will consist of contextualized stats curated on a certain "split". For example, stats for when a fighter fought Orthodox fighter's, or when they were coming off a loss or a win. As you can imagine coming up with splits for the UFC and MMA in general isn't the same as perhaps the NBA, so this feature will take some time to research and query for the most useful information possible, which is always the main goal of the site.
