Where they leak

  • Counter punching

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

Scouting report

Sean Brady is a 33-year-old Orthodox welterweight out of USA, camped at Marquez MMA. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — high-iq problem solver. Career mark 19-2-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 6 by submission, 13 by decision. Fight IQ grades B+ (80).

What works. Durability is the standout at 83 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game B on 3.53 TD/15 and 0.91 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 60% / 3.21 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 71% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Counter punching is the soft spot (56, C). Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax. 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.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Brady 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

70 B

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

  • 3.53 takedowns / 15 at 53% accuracy
  • 0.91 submission attempts / 15 · 6 career sub wins

Striking defense

65 C+

Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.

  • 60% striking defense · 3.21 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 2 defeats

Counter punching

56 C

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

  • 68% accuracy on 3.96 SLpM
  • 0.10 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

59 C

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

  • Str def 60% · TD def 71% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.21 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

62 C+

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

  • 3.96 SLpM at 68% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.21 SApM

Takedown reaction

64 C+

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

  • 71% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 0 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

83 A

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 2 losses
  • 13 decision wins — proof they last and still score
