What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Counter punching

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

  • Ground game

    Ground work is situational, not a finishing engine. Expect clinch entries more than a mat cycle.

  • Punching agility

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

Scouting report

Brendan Allen “All In” is a 30-year-old Orthodox middleweight out of Brazil, camped at Kill Cliff FC. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 27-7-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 14 by submission, 13 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (68).

What works. Durability is the standout at 77 (B+). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game C on 1.56 TD/15 and 1.14 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 61% / 3.34 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 79% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Counter punching is the soft spot (51, C). Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax. 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 Allen yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Ground game

57 C

Ground work is situational, not a finishing engine. Expect clinch entries more than a mat cycle.

  • 1.56 takedowns / 15 at 42% accuracy
  • 1.14 submission attempts / 15 · 14 career sub wins

Striking defense

64 C+

Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.

  • 61% striking defense · 3.34 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 7 defeats

Counter punching

51 C

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

  • 60% accuracy on 3.59 SLpM
  • 0.16 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

63 C+

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

  • Str def 61% · TD def 79% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.34 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

58 C

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

  • 3.59 SLpM at 60% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.34 SApM

Takedown reaction

62 C+

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

  • 79% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 1 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

77 B+

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 7 losses
  • 13 decision wins — proof they last and still score
