What they do well

  • Durability

    Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

  • Striking defense

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

Where they leak

  • Counter punching

    This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

  • 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.

Scouting report

Joanne Wood “JoJo” is a 40-year-old Orthodox women's flyweight out of Glasgow, Scotland, camped at Syndicate MMA. The tape read: volume pressure striker — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 17-8-0 — 1 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 15 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 1.52 TD/15 and 0.32 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 54% / 2.11 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility B (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 79% 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 (34, D). This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting. Opponents who out-speed the first exchange and never stay on the centerline have historically been the ones who make this résumé leak. When Wood loses, it is usually a finish (0 KO, 5 sub) — composure under the first clean hurt is the live question.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Wood 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

41 D

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

  • 1.52 takedowns / 15 at 56% accuracy
  • 0.32 submission attempts / 15 · 1 career sub wins

Striking defense

73 B

Counter punching

This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

  • 59% accuracy on 7.10 SLpM

Timing & reaction

56 C

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

  • Str def 54% · TD def 79% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 2.11 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

69 B

Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.

  • 7.10 SLpM at 59% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 2.11 SApM

Takedown reaction

53 C

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

  • 79% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 5 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 8 losses
  • 15 decision wins — proof they last and still score
