What they do well

  • Durability

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

  • Fight IQ

    Knows the assignment. Game plans hold up for 15 minutes; the adjustments are incremental, not chaotic.

Where they leak

  • Takedown reaction

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

  • 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.

Scouting report

Zhang Weili “Magnum” is a 37-year-old Switch women's flyweight out of China, camped at Beijing Black Tiger. The tape read: pocket striker — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 26-4-0 — 3 by KO/TKO, 8 by submission, 15 by decision. Fight IQ grades B+ (78).

What works. Durability is the standout at 86 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 1.96 TD/15 and 0.45 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 45% / 1.68 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 11% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 2 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Takedown reaction is the soft spot (34, D). A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around. 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 (2 bouts): L Shevchenko (Decision - Unanimous R5) · W Xiaonan (Decision - Unanimous R5). Form index negative over the last 2. 1 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Ground game

49 D

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

  • 1.96 takedowns / 15 at 45% accuracy
  • 0.45 submission attempts / 15 · 8 career sub wins

Striking defense

66 C+

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

  • 45% striking defense · 1.68 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 4 defeats

Counter punching

42 D

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

  • 63% accuracy on 4.66 SLpM
  • 0.00 knockdowns / 15 · 3 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

36 D

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

  • Str def 45% · TD def 11% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 1.68 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

65 C+

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

  • 4.66 SLpM at 63% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 1.68 SApM

Takedown reaction

34 D

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

  • 11% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 0 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

86 A

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 4 losses
  • 15 decision wins — proof they last and still score
