What works. Takedown reaction is the standout at 80 (B+). Can stuff the first shot. Chain wrestling and the second entry are the real test. Ground game D on 0.48 TD/15 and 0.48 sub attempts.

Where it breaks. Counter punching is the soft spot (26, D). Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax. Opponents who out-speed the first exchange and never stay on the centerline 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 (1 bouts): L Vera (Decision - Unanimous R3). Form index negative over the last 1. Most of the loaded finishes happen before the deep water.
