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

Scouting report

Montel Jackson “Quik” is a 34-year-old Southpaw bantamweight out of USA, camped at Pura Vida BJJ. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — southpaw. Career mark 15-4-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 14 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (69).

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 C on 2.71 TD/15 and 0.29 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 62% / 3.54 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. Ground game is the soft spot (53, C). 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 Jackson 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

53 C

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

  • 2.71 takedowns / 15 at 64% accuracy
  • 0.29 submission attempts / 15 · 1 career sub wins

Striking defense

63 C+

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

  • 62% striking defense · 3.54 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 4 defeats

Counter punching

59 C

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

  • 62% accuracy on 3.02 SLpM
  • 0.59 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 62% · TD def 74% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.54 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

59 C

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

  • 3.02 SLpM at 62% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.54 SApM

Takedown reaction

65 C+

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

  • 74% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 0 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 4 losses
  • 14 decision wins — proof they last and still score
