Takedown reaction
A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.
Timing & reaction
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
Lauren Murphy “Lucky” is a 43-year-old Orthodox women's flyweight out of USA, camped at Renzo Gracie Houston. The tape read: pocket striker — suspect hips against the shot, porous pocket. Career mark 16-7-0 — 3 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 12 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (58).
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 1.09 TD/15 and 0.21 sub attempts. Striking defense C at 60% / 4.63 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 29% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 2 loaded UFC rows.
Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (28, D). Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain. 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 (2 bouts): L Moura (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L Shevchenko (KO/TKO R4). Form index negative over the last 2. Most of the loaded finishes happen before the deep water.
