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.

  • Fight IQ

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

  • Counter punching

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

Scouting report

Conor McGregor “The Notorious” is a 38-year-old Southpaw welterweight out of Ireland, camped at SBG Ireland. The tape read: pocket striker — suspect hips against the shot, southpaw. Career mark 22-7-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 21 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (51).

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 0.66 TD/15 and 0.13 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 57% / 2.76 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 82% 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 (30, 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. When McGregor loses, it is usually a finish (0 KO, 4 sub) — composure under the first clean hurt is the live question.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for McGregor 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

30 D

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

  • 0.66 takedowns / 15 at 56% accuracy
  • 0.13 submission attempts / 15 · 1 career sub wins

Striking defense

69 B

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

  • 57% striking defense · 2.76 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 7 defeats

Counter punching

51 C

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

  • 56% accuracy on 5.27 SLpM
  • 0.77 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

66 C+

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

  • Str def 57% · TD def 82% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 2.76 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

66 C+

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

  • 5.27 SLpM at 56% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 2.76 SApM

Takedown reaction

54 C

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

  • 82% 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 7 losses
  • 21 decision wins — proof they last and still score
