What they do well

No standout plus-mark on this card.

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.

  • Timing & reaction

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

Scouting report

Germaine de Randamie “The Iron Lady” is a 42-year-old Orthodox women's bantamweight out of Utrecht, Netherlands, camped at AKA (American Kickboxing Academy). The tape read: power striker — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 10-5-0 — 5 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 4 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (58).

What works. Durability is the standout at 68 (B). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game D on 0.00 TD/15 and 0.38 sub attempts. Striking defense C at 57% / 3.16 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 27% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 1 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (18, 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.

Recent tape (1 bouts): L Nunes (Decision - Unanimous R5). Form index negative over the last 1. Most of the loaded finishes happen before the deep water.
