What they do well

  • Ground game

    Chain wrestling and submissions are a primary weapon. 5 tapouts and 6.9 TD/15 put opponents on the fence or the mat.

  • Counter punching

    Can punish a reaching opponent. Not a pure counter artist, but the return shot is live.

Where they leak

  • Takedown reaction

    A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.

  • Timing & reaction

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

Scouting report

Gregor Gillespie “The Gift” is a 39-year-old Orthodox lightweight out of USA, camped at Bellmore Kickboxing Academy. The tape read: chain-wrestling grappler — suspect hips against the shot, live counter. Career mark 14-1-0 — 7 by KO/TKO, 5 by submission, 2 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (69).

What works. Ground game is the standout at 82 (B+). Chain wrestling and submissions are a primary weapon. 5 tapouts and 6.9 TD/15 put opponents on the fence or the mat. Ground game B+ on 6.86 TD/15 and 0.76 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 61% / 3.29 SApM. Counter punching B+; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 58% 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 (54, C). A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around. 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 Gillespie yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.
