Gary Balletto “Batman” is a 31-year-old -- welterweight out of USA, camped at Tri-Force MMA. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels. Career mark 11-3-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 7 by submission, 4 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (61).
What works. Takedown reaction is the standout at 69 (B). Can stuff the first shot. Chain wrestling and the second entry are the real test. Ground game D on 0.00 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense C at 68% / 4.60 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction B on 85% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.
Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (21, 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 5153238 (KO/TKO R2) · W 5124148 (KO/TKO R2) · W 4388599 (Submission (Rear Naked Choke) R1) · W 5148646 (Submission (Rear Naked Choke) R2) · L 4706975 (KO/TKO R1). Form index positive over the last 5. Most of the loaded finishes happen before the deep water.

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.
Can stuff the first shot. Chain wrestling and the second entry are the real test.
Finishable. When this fighter loses, it is usually because something landed flush or the neck gave out.
