What they do well

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

Mike Malott “Proper” is a 34-year-old Orthodox welterweight out of Canada, camped at Niagara Top Team. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 14-2-1 — 0 by KO/TKO, 6 by submission, 8 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (68).

What works. Durability is the standout at 80 (B+). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game C on 1.63 TD/15 and 0.65 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 60% / 3.19 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 78% 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 (49, 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 Malott yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Ground game

51 C

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

  • 1.63 takedowns / 15 at 50% accuracy
  • 0.65 submission attempts / 15 · 6 career sub wins

Striking defense

65 C+

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

  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 2 defeats

Counter punching

49 D

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

  • 52% accuracy on 4.02 SLpM
  • 0.49 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

64 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 78% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.19 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

56 C

  • 4.02 SLpM at 52% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.19 SApM

Takedown reaction

66 C+

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

  • 78% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 0 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

80 B+

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 2 losses
  • 8 decision wins — proof they last and still score
