What they do well

  • Durability

    Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.

Where they leak

  • Counter punching

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

  • Punching agility

    Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

  • Ground game

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

Scouting report

Matt Schnell “Danger” is a 36-year-old Orthodox flyweight out of USA, camped at Fortis MMA. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 17-11-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 9 by submission, 8 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (52).

What works. Durability is the standout at 77 (B+). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game C on 0.60 TD/15 and 1.21 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 60% / 3.18 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 83% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Counter punching is the soft spot (39, D). Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax. 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 Schnell yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

39 D

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

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

  • 4.07 SLpM at 48% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.18 SApM

Takedown reaction

57 C

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

  • 4 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

77 B+

Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 11 losses
  • 8 decision wins — proof they last and still score
