Scouting report

Dominick Reyes “The Devastator” is a 36-year-old Southpaw light heavyweight out of USA, camped at Joe Stevenson's Cobra Kai. The tape read: power striker — southpaw. Career mark 16-5-0 — 9 by KO/TKO, 2 by submission, 5 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (64).

What works. Durability is the standout at 72 (B). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game D on 0.25 TD/15 and 0.25 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 58% / 2.85 SApM. Counter punching C+; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction B on 84% 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 (23, 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 Reyes yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.
