What they do well

  • Durability

    Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

  • Takedown reaction

    Can stuff the first shot. Chain wrestling and the second entry are the real test.

  • Striking defense

    Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice.

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

David Martinez “Black Spartan” is a 28-year-old Orthodox bantamweight out of Mexico, camped at Bonebreakers MMA. The tape read: pocket striker — elite sprawl. Career mark 14-1-0 — 2 by KO/TKO, 0 by submission, 12 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (69).

What works. Durability is the standout at 91 (A+). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.60 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense B+ at 70% / 3.03 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction B+ on 100% 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 (20, 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 Vera (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W Font (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 4875505 (KO/TKO R1) · W 5235875 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 4243871 (KO/TKO R4). Form index positive over the last 5. 5 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.
