What they do well

  • Durability

    Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

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.

  • Fight IQ

    Predictable under stress. When the first look fails, the tape shows the same entry again.

What works. Durability is the standout at 85 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.00 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 60% / 3.20 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 85% TD defense.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (13, 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 Poppeck 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

13 D

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

  • 0.00 takedowns / 15 at 0% accuracy
  • 0.00 submission attempts / 15 · 1 career sub wins

Striking defense

65 C+

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

  • 60% striking defense · 3.20 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 6 defeats

Counter punching

50 C

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

  • 61% accuracy on 4.01 SLpM
  • 0.10 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

62 C+

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

  • Str def 60% · TD def 85% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.20 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

58 C

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

  • 4.01 SLpM at 61% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.20 SApM

Takedown reaction

59 C

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

  • 85% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 2 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

85 A

Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 6 losses
  • 20 decision wins — proof they last and still score
