What they do well

  • Punching agility

    Hands move. High clean output for the age band — combinations come in bursts, not long-arm pawing.

  • Striking defense

    Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice.

Where they leak

  • Takedown reaction

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

Scouting report

Tom Aspinall is a 33-year-old Orthodox heavyweight out of England, camped at Team Kaobon. The tape read: power striker. Career mark 15-3-0 — 9 by KO/TKO, 4 by submission, 2 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (65).

What works. Punching agility is the standout at 91 (A+). Hands move. High clean output for the age band — combinations come in bursts, not long-arm pawing. Ground game B on 2.62 TD/15 and 1.31 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 53% / 1.93 SApM. Counter punching C+; punching agility A+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 75% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Takedown reaction is the soft spot (55, C). Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next. 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 Aspinall yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.
