What they do well

  • Durability

    Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

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.

  • Punching agility

    Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

  • Counter punching

    Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

What works. Durability is the standout at 85 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.64 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (34, 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. Losses lean decision more often than a highlight — the issue is usually control of minutes, not a glass jaw.

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

Ground game

34 D

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

  • 0.64 takedowns / 15 at 100% accuracy
  • 0.00 submission attempts / 15 · 3 career sub wins

Counter punching

47 D

Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

  • 57% accuracy on 2.92 SLpM

Timing & reaction

58 C

Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.

  • 3.58 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

45 D

Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

  • 2.92 SLpM at 57% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.58 SApM

Takedown reaction

68 C+

Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.

  • 82% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 0 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

85 A

Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 5 losses
  • 8 decision wins — proof they last and still score
