What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Counter punching

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

  • Ground game

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

  • Punching agility

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

Scouting report

Michel Pereira “Demolidor” is a 32-year-old Orthodox middleweight out of Brazil, camped at Xtreme Couture. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 32-15-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 9 by submission, 23 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (63).

What works. Durability is the standout at 84 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 1.11 TD/15 and 0.60 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 59% / 3.10 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 81% 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 (43, D). Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax. 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 Pereira 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

44 D

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

  • 1.11 takedowns / 15 at 52% accuracy
  • 0.60 submission attempts / 15 · 9 career sub wins

66 C+

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

Counter punching

43 D

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

Timing & reaction

63 C+

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

  • Str def 59% · TD def 81% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.10 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

54 C

  • 4.28 SLpM at 54% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.10 SApM

Takedown reaction

65 C+

Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.

  • 81% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 1 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

84 A

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

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