What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • 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.

  • Takedown reaction

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

Scouting report

Cody Durden “Custom Made” is a 35-year-old Southpaw flyweight out of USA, camped at American Top Team Atlanta. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — suspect hips against the shot, southpaw. Career mark 18-11-1 — 0 by KO/TKO, 6 by submission, 12 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (52).

What works. Durability is the standout at 83 (B+). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game B on 3.99 TD/15 and 0.65 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 62% / 3.47 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 69% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Counter punching is the soft spot (44, D). Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax. Opponents who out-speed the first exchange and never stay on the centerline have historically been the ones who make this résumé leak. When Durden loses, it is usually a finish (0 KO, 6 sub) — composure under the first clean hurt is the live question.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Durden 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

70 B

Competent offensive grappling — enough volume and threat to change where the fight is scored.

  • 3.99 takedowns / 15 at 49% accuracy
  • 0.65 submission attempts / 15 · 6 career sub wins

Striking defense

63 C+

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

  • 62% striking defense · 3.47 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 11 defeats

Counter punching

44 D

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

  • 53% accuracy on 3.24 SLpM
  • 0.10 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

55 C

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

  • Str def 62% · TD def 69% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.47 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

44 D

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

  • 3.24 SLpM at 53% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.47 SApM

Takedown reaction

50 D

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

  • 69% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 6 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

83 B+

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 11 losses
  • 12 decision wins — proof they last and still score
