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

    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

Bruno Silva “Bulldog” is a 36-year-old Orthodox flyweight out of Brazil, camped at Fight Ready. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 15-9-2 — 0 by KO/TKO, 5 by submission, 10 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (56).

What works. Durability is the standout at 83 (B+). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 1.94 TD/15 and 0.24 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 60% / 3.22 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 77% 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 (40, 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.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Silva 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

40 D

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

  • 1.94 takedowns / 15 at 24% accuracy
  • 0.24 submission attempts / 15 · 5 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.

  • 60% striking defense · 3.22 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 9 defeats

Counter punching

49 D

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

  • 56% accuracy on 3.95 SLpM
  • 0.31 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

58 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 77% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.22 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

54 C

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

  • 3.95 SLpM at 56% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.22 SApM

Takedown reaction

59 C

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

  • 77% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 2 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

83 B+

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 9 losses
  • 10 decision wins — proof they last and still score
