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

    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.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (26, 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.

Ground game

26 D

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

  • 0.32 takedowns / 15 at 10% accuracy
  • 0.43 submission attempts / 15 · 4 career sub wins

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

Counter punching

40 D

Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

Timing & reaction

59 C

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

  • 3.42 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

41 D

  • 3.37 SLpM at 47% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.42 SApM

Takedown reaction

65 C+

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

  • 84% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 1 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

82 B+

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 8 losses
  • 7 decision wins — proof they last and still score
