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.

  • Timing & reaction

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

Scouting report

Dione Barbosa “The Witch” is a 34-year-old Orthodox women's flyweight out of Brazil, camped at The Q MMA. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels. Career mark 10-4-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 5 by submission, 5 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (69).

What works. Durability is the standout at 78 (B+). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game B on 2.40 TD/15 and 1.74 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 64% / 3.83 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 75% 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 (48, 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 Barbosa yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.
