What works. Durability is the standout at 74 (B). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game D on 0.38 TD/15 and 0.61 sub attempts. Striking defense D at 51% / 4.46 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 67% 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 (32, 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 4237015 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 3070984 (Submission R1) · W 3114234 (Submission R2) · L Silva (KO/TKO R2) · L Woodson (Decision - Split R3). Form index positive over the last 5. 1 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Defensive liability. Opponents land at a clip that turns every exchange into a finish window.
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.
Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.
A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.
