What they do well

  • Durability

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

  • Punching agility

    Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.

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

    This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

Scouting report

Karol Rosa is a 31-year-old Orthodox women's bantamweight out of Brazil, camped at GAEA Project. The tape read: volume pressure striker. Career mark 19-8-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 2 by submission, 17 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (60).

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 1.08 TD/15 and 0.15 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 57% / 2.69 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility B (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 (34, 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 Rosa 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

34 D

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

  • 1.08 takedowns / 15 at 48% accuracy
  • 0.15 submission attempts / 15 · 2 career sub wins

Striking defense

69 B

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

  • 57% striking defense · 2.69 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 8 defeats

Counter punching

48 D

This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

  • 68% accuracy on 5.47 SLpM
  • 0.10 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

63 C+

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

  • Str def 57% · TD def 81% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 2.69 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

74 B

Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.

  • 5.47 SLpM at 68% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 2.69 SApM

Takedown reaction

60 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
  • 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 8 losses
  • 17 decision wins — proof they last and still score
