Durability
Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.
Counter punching
This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.
Takedown reaction
Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.
Mario Bautista is a 33-year-old Switch bantamweight out of USA, camped at MMA LAB. The tape read: volume pressure striker. Career mark 18-3-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 7 by submission, 11 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (68).
What works. Durability is the standout at 81 (B+). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game C+ on 2.49 TD/15 and 1.06 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 57% / 2.67 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 75% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.
Where it breaks. Counter punching is the soft spot (39, D). This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting. Opponents who out-speed the first exchange and never stay on the centerline 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 Bautista yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice.
This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.
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.
Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.
