What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Takedown reaction

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

  • Ground game

    Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.

  • Timing & reaction

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

Scouting report

Elise Reed is a 33-year-old Orthodox women's strawweight out of USA, camped at Kickside Martial Arts. The tape read: pocket striker — suspect hips against the shot, porous pocket. Career mark 8-5-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 0 by submission, 8 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (56).

What works. Durability is the standout at 91 (A+). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.46 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense D at 33% / 2.80 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 0% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Takedown reaction is the soft spot (14, D). 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. Losses lean decision more often than a highlight — the issue is usually control of minutes, not a glass jaw.

Recent tape (6 bouts): L Gomes (KO/TKO R2) · W 2989128 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L 4700617 (Submission R2) · W 3136288 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L 4292347 (Submission R2). Form index negative over the last 5. 3 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.
