No standout plus-mark on this card.
Takedown reaction
A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.
Timing & reaction
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
Striking defense
Defensive liability. Opponents land at a clip that turns every exchange into a finish window.

What works. Ground game is the standout at 70 (B). Competent offensive grappling — enough volume and threat to change where the fight is scored. Ground game B on 2.29 TD/15 and 2.59 sub attempts. Striking defense D at 35% / 2.51 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 50% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 7 loaded UFC rows.
Where it breaks. Takedown reaction is the soft spot (24, D). A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around. 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.

Form index positive over the last 5. 2 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.
