What they do well

  • Durability

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

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

Davey Grant “Dangerous” is a 40-year-old Orthodox bantamweight out of England, camped at SBG Bishop Auckland. The tape read: volume pressure striker — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 18-8-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 9 by submission, 9 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (51).

What works. Durability is the standout at 78 (B+). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game D on 0.95 TD/15 and 0.16 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 57% / 2.65 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 81% 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 (35, 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 Grant 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 Grant 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

37 D

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

  • 0.95 takedowns / 15 at 39% accuracy
  • 0.16 submission attempts / 15 · 9 career sub wins

Striking defense

70 B

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

  • 57% striking defense · 2.65 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 8 defeats

Counter punching

35 D

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

  • 47% accuracy on 5.58 SLpM
  • 0.32 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

60 C

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

  • Str def 57% · TD def 81% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 2.65 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

56 C

Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

  • 5.58 SLpM at 47% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 2.65 SApM

Takedown reaction

54 C

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

  • 81% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 5 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

78 B+

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 8 losses
  • 9 decision wins — proof they last and still score
