What they do well

  • Ground game

    Chain wrestling and submissions are a primary weapon. 9 tapouts and 5.9 TD/15 put opponents on the fence or the mat.

  • Striking defense

    Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice.

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Takedown reaction

    A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.

  • Timing & reaction

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

  • Counter punching

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

Scouting report

Anthony Hernandez “Fluffy” is a 32-year-old Orthodox middleweight out of USA, camped at MMAGold Fight Team. The tape read: chain-wrestling grappler — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 15-3-0 — 3 by KO/TKO, 9 by submission, 3 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (73).

What works. Ground game is the standout at 92 (A+). Chain wrestling and submissions are a primary weapon. 9 tapouts and 5.9 TD/15 put opponents on the fence or the mat. Ground game A+ on 5.88 TD/15 and 1.63 sub attempts. Striking defense B+ at 58% / 1.89 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility B (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 50% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Takedown reaction is the soft spot (36, D). A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around. 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.

Recent tape (6 bouts): L 3093653 (KO/TKO R3) · W Dolidze (Submission R4) · W 4025699 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 4418962 (KO/TKO R5) · W 4300149 (Submission R2). Form index positive over the last 5. 4 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.
