What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Punching agility

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

  • Ground game

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

  • Timing & reaction

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

Scouting report

Josh Emmett “CC0” is a 41-year-old Orthodox featherweight out of USA, camped at Team Alpha Male. The tape read: pocket striker — suspect hips against the shot, porous pocket. Career mark 19-7-0 — 6 by KO/TKO, 2 by submission, 11 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (53).

What works. Durability is the standout at 73 (B). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game D on 1.07 TD/15 and 0.07 sub attempts. Striking defense D at 42% / 6.20 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 81% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 1 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Punching agility is the soft spot (25, 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.

Recent tape (1 bouts): L Rodriguez (Submission R2). Form index negative over the last 1. Most of the loaded finishes happen before the deep water.
