Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (16, 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 (6 bouts): W 5088916 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W Cannonier (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 4421784 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L 4738092 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 3943695 (Decision - Unanimous R3). Form index positive over the last 5. 4 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.
Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.
Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.
