Durability
Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.
Punching agility
Hands move. High clean output for the age band — combinations come in bursts, not long-arm pawing.
Fight IQ
Knows the assignment. Game plans hold up for 15 minutes; the adjustments are incremental, not chaotic.
Counter punching
This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.
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.
Rodrigo Vera “El Gato Loco” is a 30-year-old -- featherweight out of Peru, camped at Chute Boxe - Diego Lima. The tape read: volume pressure striker — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 22-1-1 — 0 by KO/TKO, 3 by submission, 19 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (75).
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 B on 8.18 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 49% / 1.40 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility B+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 52% 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 (35, 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 Vera 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.
