What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Ground game

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

  • 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.

Scouting report

Marina Rodriguez is a 39-year-old Orthodox women's strawweight out of Brazil, camped at Thai Brasil. The tape read: pocket striker — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 17-6-2 — 4 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 12 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (64).

What works. Durability is the standout at 90 (A+). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.27 TD/15 and 0.27 sub attempts. Striking defense C at 58% / 3.73 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 50% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 1 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (28, 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 (1 bouts): W Xiaonan (Decision - Split R3). Form index positive over the last 1. 1 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Counter punching

44 D

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

Timing & reaction

38 D

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

  • Str def 58% · TD def 50% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.73 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

46 D

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

  • 4.51 SLpM at 52% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.73 SApM

Takedown reaction

33 D

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

  • 50% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 0 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

90 A+

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