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.

  • Counter punching

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

  • Punching agility

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

Scouting report

Gaston Bolaños “The Dreamkiller” is a 33-year-old Orthodox featherweight out of Peru, camped at Combat Sports Academy. The tape read: pocket striker — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 9-5-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 0 by submission, 9 by decision. Fight IQ grades D (48).

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 D on 0.66 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 61% / 3.45 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 82% 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 (30, 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. When Bolaños loses, it is usually a finish (0 KO, 3 sub) — composure under the first clean hurt is the live question.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Bolaños 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

30 D

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

  • 0.66 takedowns / 15 at 100% accuracy
  • 0.00 submission attempts / 15 · 0 career sub wins

Striking defense

64 C+

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

  • 61% striking defense · 3.45 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 5 defeats

Counter punching

44 D

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

  • 54% accuracy on 3.28 SLpM
  • 0.10 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

64 C+

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

  • Str def 61% · TD def 82% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.45 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

48 D

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

  • 3.28 SLpM at 54% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.45 SApM

Takedown reaction

54 C

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

  • 82% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 3 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 5 losses
  • 9 decision wins — proof they last and still score
