Takedown reaction

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (15, 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.
Recent tape (6 bouts): W 5144320 (KO/TKO R1) · L Elliott (Submission R2) · L Pantoja (Submission R2) · W 3152203 (KO/TKO R2) · W 3164799 (KO/TKO R3). Form index positive over the last 5. 1 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

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