What they do well

No standout plus-mark on this card.

Where they leak

  • 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.

  • Timing & reaction

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

Scouting report

Rodolfo Vieira “The Black Belt Hunter” is a 36-year-old Orthodox middleweight out of Brazil, camped at Fighting Nerds. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels. Career mark 11-5-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 9 by submission, 2 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (60).

What works. Durability is the standout at 68 (B). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game C+ on 2.87 TD/15 and 0.91 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 61% / 3.40 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 74% 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 (48, 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 Vieira yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.
