Durability
Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.
Striking defense
Hard to hit clean. Low absorb rate and a quiet chin record — opponents have to work for every clean look.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (54, C). 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 (7 bouts): W Weili (Decision - Unanimous R5) · W Fiorot (Decision - Unanimous R5) · W Grasso (Decision - Unanimous R5) · D Grasso (Draw R5) · L Grasso (Submission R4). Form index positive over the last 5. 5 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.
Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.
Hard to hit clean. Low absorb rate and a quiet chin record — opponents have to work for every clean look.
Can punish a reaching opponent. Not a pure counter artist, but the return shot is live.
Average-plus reactions. Gets touched, but rarely frozen in place when the shot or the shot-to-takedown comes.
Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.
Can stuff the first shot. Chain wrestling and the second entry are the real test.
Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.
