What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Takedown reaction

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

  • Ground game

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

  • Timing & reaction

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

Scouting report

Alexa Grasso is a 33-year-old Orthodox women's flyweight out of Mexico, camped at Lobo Gym MMA. The tape read: pocket striker — suspect hips against the shot, porous pocket. Career mark 17-5-1 — 1 by KO/TKO, 2 by submission, 14 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (58).

What works. Durability is the standout at 87 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.40 TD/15 and 0.67 sub attempts. Striking defense C at 48% / 3.03 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 36% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Takedown reaction is the soft spot (24, D). A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around. 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 (6 bouts): W 4246307 (KO/TKO R1) · L 4054605 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L Shevchenko (Decision - Unanimous R5) · D Shevchenko (Draw R5) · W Shevchenko (Submission R4). Form index positive over the last 5. 2 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Ground game

31 D

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

  • 0.40 takedowns / 15 at 35% accuracy
  • 0.67 submission attempts / 15 · 2 career sub wins

Striking defense

53 C

Counter punching

40 D

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

  • 0.21 knockdowns / 15 · 1 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

40 D

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

  • Str def 48% · TD def 36% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.03 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

56 C

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

  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.03 SApM

Takedown reaction

24 D

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

  • 1 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

87 A

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 5 losses
