What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Punching agility

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

  • Counter punching

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

  • Ground game

    Ground work is situational, not a finishing engine. Expect clinch entries more than a mat cycle.

Scouting report

Robert Valentin “Robzilla” is a 31-year-old Orthodox middleweight out of Switzerland, camped at Fight Move Academy. The tape read: submission hunter. Career mark 13-6-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 9 by submission, 4 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (65).

What works. Durability is the standout at 72 (B). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game C on 0.59 TD/15 and 1.78 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 65% / 4.14 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 83% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Punching agility is the soft spot (49, D). Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries. Opponents who out-speed the first exchange and never stay on the centerline 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 Valentin yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Ground game

56 C

Ground work is situational, not a finishing engine. Expect clinch entries more than a mat cycle.

  • 0.59 takedowns / 15 at 50% accuracy
  • 1.78 submission attempts / 15 · 9 career sub wins

Striking defense

61 C+

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

  • 65% striking defense · 4.14 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 6 defeats

Counter punching

52 C

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

  • 73% accuracy on 1.30 SLpM
  • 0.10 knockdowns / 15 · 0 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 65% · TD def 83% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 4.14 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

49 D

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

  • 1.30 SLpM at 73% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 4.14 SApM

Takedown reaction

63 C+

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

  • 83% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 1 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

72 B

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 6 losses
  • 4 decision wins — proof they last and still score
