What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Punching agility

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

  • Counter punching

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

  • Timing & reaction

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

Scouting report

Jeremiah Wells is a 39-year-old Switch welterweight out of USA, camped at Renzo Gracie Philly. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels. Career mark 14-4-1 — 0 by KO/TKO, 5 by submission, 9 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (66).

What works. Durability is the standout at 82 (B+). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game B on 3.06 TD/15 and 1.31 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 63% / 3.78 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 73% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Punching agility is the soft spot (40, D). Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries. 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 Wells yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Durability

82 B+

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