What they do well

  • Durability

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

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.

  • Counter punching

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

  • Fight IQ

    Predictable under stress. When the first look fails, the tape shows the same entry again.

Scouting report

Chidi Njokuani “Bang Bang” is a 37-year-old Orthodox welterweight out of USA, camped at Janjira Muay Thai. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 26-12-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 25 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (55).

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 D on 0.00 TD/15 and 0.14 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 58% / 2.79 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility B (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 85% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (14, 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.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Njokuani 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

14 D

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

  • 0.00 takedowns / 15 at 0% accuracy
  • 0.14 submission attempts / 15 · 1 career sub wins

Striking defense

68 B

Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice.

  • 58% striking defense · 2.79 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 12 defeats

Counter punching

51 C

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

  • 66% accuracy on 5.16 SLpM
  • 0.29 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

61 C+

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

  • Str def 58% · TD def 85% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 2.79 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

69 B

Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.

  • 5.16 SLpM at 66% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 2.79 SApM

Takedown reaction

59 C

Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.

  • 85% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 4 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

85 A

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 12 losses
  • 25 decision wins — proof they last and still score
