No standout plus-mark on this card.
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.
Counter punching
Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.
Alex Perez is a 34-year-old Orthodox flyweight out of USA, camped at Team Oyama. The tape read: pocket striker — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 26-10-0 — 6 by KO/TKO, 7 by submission, 13 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (55).
What works. Durability is the standout at 71 (B). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game C on 2.07 TD/15 and 0.83 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 51% / 2.60 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 50% 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 (25, 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. When Perez loses, it is usually a finish (0 KO, 6 sub) — composure under the first clean hurt is the live question.
Recent tape (6 bouts): L Sumudaerji (No Contest R2) · W 4375156 (KO/TKO R1) · L 4294926 (Submission R3) · L 4917772 (KO/TKO R2) · W 3020090 (KO/TKO R2). Form index negative over the last 5. Most of the loaded finishes happen before the deep water.
Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.
Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.
Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

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