What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Takedown reaction

    A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.

  • Punching agility

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

Scouting report

Jordan Leavitt “The Monkey King” is a 31-year-old Southpaw featherweight out of USA, camped at Syndicate MMA. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — suspect hips against the shot, southpaw. Career mark 13-4-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 7 by submission, 6 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (61).

What works. Durability is the standout at 77 (B+). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game C+ on 3.15 TD/15 and 1.05 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 64% / 3.83 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 72% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Takedown reaction is the soft spot (51, C). A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around. Opponents who force wrestling and keep the fight on the fence have historically been the ones who make this résumé leak. When Leavitt loses, it is usually a finish (0 KO, 3 sub) — composure under the first clean hurt is the live question.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Leavitt 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

68 C+

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

  • 3.15 takedowns / 15 at 34% accuracy
  • 1.05 submission attempts / 15 · 7 career sub wins

Striking defense

62 C+

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

  • 64% striking defense · 3.83 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 4 defeats

Counter punching

58 C

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

  • 71% accuracy on 2.21 SLpM
  • 0.33 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

62 C+

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

  • Str def 64% · TD def 72% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.83 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

56 C

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

  • 2.21 SLpM at 71% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.83 SApM

Takedown reaction

51 C

A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.

  • 72% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 3 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

77 B+

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

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