What they do well

  • Punching agility

    Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.

  • Striking defense

    Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice.

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.

  • Fight IQ

    Predictable under stress. When the first look fails, the tape shows the same entry again.

Scouting report

Carlos Ulberg “Black Jag” is a 35-year-old Orthodox light heavyweight out of New Zealand, camped at City Kickboxing. The tape read: power striker. Career mark 15-1-0 — 13 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 1 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (56).

What works. Punching agility is the standout at 80 (B+). Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized. Ground game D on 0.53 TD/15 and 0.18 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 55% / 2.30 SApM. Counter punching C+; punching agility B+ (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. Ground game is the soft spot (31, 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.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Ulberg yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.
