Fight IQ
Knows the assignment. Game plans hold up for 15 minutes; the adjustments are incremental, not chaotic.
Durability
Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.
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.
Kayla Harrison is a 36-year-old Southpaw women's bantamweight out of USA, camped at American Top Team. The tape read: pocket striker — high-iq problem solver, southpaw. Career mark 19-1-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 8 by submission, 11 by decision. Fight IQ grades B+ (80).
What works. Fight IQ is the standout at 80 (B+). Knows the assignment. Game plans hold up for 15 minutes; the adjustments are incremental, not chaotic. Ground game C+ on 2.84 TD/15 and 0.95 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 59% / 3.10 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 74% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.
Where it breaks. Timing & reaction is the soft spot (54, C). Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent. Opponents who take away their first look and make them solve a second problem 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 Harrison 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 work is situational, not a finishing engine. Expect clinch entries more than a mat cycle.
Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.
Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.
Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.
Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.
