What they do well

  • Durability

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

  • Ground game

    Competent offensive grappling — enough volume and threat to change where the fight is scored.

  • Fight IQ

    Knows the assignment. Game plans hold up for 15 minutes; the adjustments are incremental, not chaotic.

Where they leak

  • Punching agility

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

  • Counter punching

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

  • Timing & reaction

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

Scouting report

Virna Jandiroba “Carcara” is a 38-year-old Orthodox women's strawweight out of Brazil, camped at Academia Fight House. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels. Career mark 23-4-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 14 by submission, 9 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (72).

What works. Durability is the standout at 75 (B). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game B on 3.13 TD/15 and 1.39 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 63% / 3.81 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 72% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Punching agility is the soft spot (42, D). Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries. 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.
