What they do well

  • Punching agility

    Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.

  • Striking defense

    Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice.

Where they leak

  • Ground game

    Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.

  • Takedown reaction

    A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.

Scouting report

Cris Cyborg is a 41-year-old Orthodox women's featherweight out of Brazil, camped at Chute Boxe. The tape read: power striker — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 29-2-0 — 22 by KO/TKO, 2 by submission, 5 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (63).

What works. Punching agility is the standout at 80 (B+). Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized. Ground game D on 0.66 TD/15 and 0.40 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 53% / 2.05 SApM. Counter punching C+; punching agility B+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 82% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (35, D). Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain. Opponents who force wrestling and keep the fight on the fence have historically been the ones who make this résumé leak. When Cyborg loses, it is usually a finish (0 KO, 1 sub) — composure under the first clean hurt is the live question.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Cyborg yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.
