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.

Scouting report

Niko Price “The Hybrid” is a 37-year-old Orthodox welterweight out of USA, camped at Fight Me Combat Sports. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 16-11-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 3 by submission, 13 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (56).

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 1.06 TD/15 and 0.62 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 58% / 2.81 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (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 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (37, 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 Price yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

37 D

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

  • 1.06 takedowns / 15 at 30% accuracy
  • 0.62 submission attempts / 15 · 3 career sub wins

Timing & reaction

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

  • 2.81 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

  • 5.11 SLpM at 50% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 2.81 SApM

Takedown reaction

59 C

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

  • 81% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 3 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 11 losses
  • 13 decision wins — proof they last and still score
