What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Ground game

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

  • Counter punching

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

  • Takedown reaction

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

Scouting report

Natalia Silva is a 29-year-old Southpaw women's flyweight out of Brazil, camped at Team Borracha. The tape read: pocket striker — southpaw. Career mark 20-5-1 — 3 by KO/TKO, 7 by submission, 10 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (58).

What works. Durability is the standout at 78 (B+). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game D on 0.43 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 58% / 2.92 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 83% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (25, D). Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain. 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 Silva yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.
