What they do well

  • Durability

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

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

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

  • Takedown reaction

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

Scouting report

Ismael Bonfim “Marreta” is a 30-year-old Orthodox lightweight out of Brazil, camped at Cerrado MMA. The tape read: volume pressure striker — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 20-7-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 4 by submission, 16 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (57).

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 1.06 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 57% / 2.67 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. Ground game is the soft spot (29, 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. When Bonfim 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 Bonfim yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.
