Durability
Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.
Takedown reaction
A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.
Punching agility
Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.
Timing & reaction
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.

What works. Durability is the standout at 75 (B). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game D on 1.36 TD/15 and 0.40 sub attempts.

Where it breaks. Takedown reaction is the soft spot (33, D). A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around. 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 (7 bouts): L 5147737 (Decision - Unanimous R5) · L 4917772 (KO/TKO R2) · W 4997217 (Decision - Unanimous R5) · W 4684848 (Decision - Unanimous R5) · L Royval (Decision - Split R5). Form index negative over the last 5. 2 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.
