What they do well

  • Durability

    Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.

Where they leak

  • Ground game

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

  • 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.

Scouting report

What works. Durability is the standout at 79 (B+). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game D on 1.55 TD/15 and 0.78 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 62% / 3.47 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 79% TD defense.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (46, 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.

Durability

79 B+

Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.
