What they do well

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

Where they leak

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.
Takedown reaction
A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.

Scouting report

Cody Gibson “The Renegade” is a 38-year-old Orthodox bantamweight out of USA, camped at Xtreme Couture. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 22-13-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 6 by submission, 16 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (54).

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 C on 2.01 TD/15 and 0.94 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 61% / 3.34 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 77% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Punching agility is the soft spot (44, D). Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries. Opponents who out-speed the first exchange and never stay on the centerline 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 Gibson 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

53 C

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

2.01 takedowns / 15 at 38% accuracy
0.94 submission attempts / 15 · 6 career sub wins

Striking defense

64 C+

61% striking defense · 3.34 SApM
0 KO/TKO losses in 13 defeats

Counter punching

44 D

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

52% accuracy on 3.59 SLpM
0.10 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

56 C

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

Str def 61% · TD def 77% — the two read-and-react rates
3.34 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility
