What they do well

  • Takedown reaction

    Can stuff the first shot. Chain wrestling and the second entry are the real test.

Where they leak

  • Ground game

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

  • Counter punching

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

  • Punching agility

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

Scouting report

Rob Font is a 39-year-old Orthodox bantamweight out of Puerto Rico, camped at TriStar Gym. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 22-10-0 — 8 by KO/TKO, 4 by submission, 10 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (63).

What works. Takedown reaction is the standout at 78 (B+). Can stuff the first shot. Chain wrestling and the second entry are the real test. Ground game D on 0.70 TD/15 and 0.32 sub attempts. Striking defense C at 60% / 4.13 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction B+ on 100% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 1 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 (1 bouts): L Martinez (Decision - Unanimous R3). Form index negative over the last 1. Most of the loaded finishes happen before the deep water.

Ground game

28 D

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

  • 0.70 takedowns / 15 at 30% accuracy
  • 0.32 submission attempts / 15 · 4 career sub wins

Striking defense

59 C

Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.

  • 60% striking defense · 4.13 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 10 defeats

Counter punching

43 D

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

  • 48% accuracy on 5.11 SLpM
  • 0.00 knockdowns / 15 · 8 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

57 C

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

  • Str def 60% · TD def 100% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 4.13 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

43 D

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

  • 5.11 SLpM at 48% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 4.13 SApM

Takedown reaction

78 B+

Can stuff the first shot. Chain wrestling and the second entry are the real test.

  • 100% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 1 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

70 B

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 10 losses
  • 10 decision wins — proof they last and still score
