Counter punching

No glaring hole — the résumé is even.
Curtis Blaydes “Razor” is a 35-year-old Orthodox heavyweight out of USA, camped at Elevation Fight Team. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels. Career mark 19-6-0 — 10 by KO/TKO, 0 by submission, 9 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (69).
What works. Counter punching is the standout at 74 (B). Can punish a reaching opponent. Not a pure counter artist, but the return shot is live. Ground game C+ on 5.12 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 60% / 3.14 SApM. Counter punching B; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 65% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.
Where it breaks. Timing & reaction is the soft spot (60, C+). Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent. Opponents who take away their first look and make them solve a second problem 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): L 4049391 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 4001837 (Decision - Split R3) · L 4010976 (KO/TKO R1) · W 4873640 (KO/TKO R2) · L 4217395 (KO/TKO R1). Form index negative over the last 5. 1 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.
Ground work is situational, not a finishing engine. Expect clinch entries more than a mat cycle.
Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.
Can punish a reaching opponent. Not a pure counter artist, but the return shot is live.
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.
Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.
Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.
