What they do well

  • Striking defense

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

  • Punching agility

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

Where they leak

  • Takedown reaction

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

  • Ground game

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

Scouting report

Vicente Luque “The Silent Assassin” is a 34-year-old Orthodox middleweight out of Brazil, camped at Kill Cliff FC. The tape read: pocket striker — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 24-13-1 — 9 by KO/TKO, 10 by submission, 5 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (61).

What works. Striking defense is the standout at 76 (B+). Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice. Ground game D on 0.89 TD/15 and 0.70 sub attempts. Striking defense B+ at 55% / 1.80 SApM. Counter punching C+; punching agility B (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 0% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 1 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Takedown reaction is the soft spot (25, 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 (1 bouts): W Gastelum (Submission R1). Form index positive over the last 1. Most of the loaded finishes happen before the deep water.

  • 0% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 3 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

Finishable. When this fighter loses, it is usually because something landed flush or the neck gave out.

  • 5 decision wins — proof they last and still score
