Durability
Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.
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.
Counter punching
Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

Where it breaks. Takedown reaction is the soft spot (29, 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.
Recent tape (6 bouts): L 4199009 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W Ige (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L Rodriguez (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 4034830 (KO/TKO R3) · L 5154454 (KO/TKO R1). Form index negative over the last 5. 2 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.
