What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • 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.

Scouting report

Brandon Moreno “The Assassin Baby” is a 32-year-old Orthodox flyweight out of Mexico, camped at Fortis MMA. The tape read: pocket striker — suspect hips against the shot, porous pocket. Career mark 23-10-2 — 3 by KO/TKO, 11 by submission, 9 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (58).

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. Striking defense C at 62% / 5.37 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 46% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 7 loaded UFC rows.

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.
