What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Counter punching

    Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

  • Ground game

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

  • Punching agility

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

Scouting report

Raoni Barcelos is a 39-year-old Orthodox bantamweight out of Brazil, camped at Top Brother MMA. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 22-5-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 3 by submission, 19 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (64).

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 2.51 TD/15 and 0.68 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 59% / 2.97 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 75% 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 (44, 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.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Barcelos yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

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

  • 4.65 SLpM at 56% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 2.97 SApM

Takedown reaction

59 C

Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.

  • 1 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 5 losses
  • 19 decision wins — proof they last and still score
