Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (30, 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.
The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Rodriguez yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

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