What they do well

  • Durability

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

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

    This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

  • Punching agility

    Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

Scouting report

Sean Woodson “The Sniper” is a 34-year-old Orthodox featherweight out of USA, camped at Wolves Den Training Center. The tape read: volume pressure striker. Career mark 13-2-1 — 5 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 7 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (65).

What works. Durability is the standout at 85 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.58 TD/15 and 0.35 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 61% / 3.47 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ 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 (33, 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. When Woodson loses, it is usually a finish (0 KO, 1 sub) — composure under the first clean hurt is the live question.

Recent tape (6 bouts): L Ige (KO/TKO R3) · W 4239738 (KO/TKO R1) · W 2552906 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W Jourdain (Decision - Split R3) · W 4686735 (Decision - Unanimous R3). Form index positive over the last 5. 3 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Ground game

33 D

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

  • 0.58 takedowns / 15 at 56% accuracy
  • 0.35 submission attempts / 15 · 1 career sub wins

Striking defense

66 C+

Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.

  • 61% striking defense · 3.47 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 2 defeats

Counter punching

47 D

This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

  • 54% accuracy on 5.57 SLpM
  • 0.00 knockdowns / 15 · 5 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

64 C+

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

  • Str def 61% · TD def 100% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.47 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

58 C

Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

  • 5.57 SLpM at 54% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.47 SApM

Takedown reaction

67 C+

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

  • 100% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 1 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

85 A

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 2 losses
  • 7 decision wins — proof they last and still score
