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.

  • Ground game

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

  • Punching agility

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

Scouting report

Tabatha Ricci “Baby Shark” is a 31-year-old Orthodox women's strawweight out of Brazil, camped at Paragon BJJ. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels. Career mark 12-5-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 3 by submission, 9 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (62).

What works. Durability is the standout at 85 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 2.37 TD/15 and 0.09 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 60% / 3.28 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 76% 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 (39, 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. 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 Ricci 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

43 D

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

  • 2.37 takedowns / 15 at 35% accuracy
  • 0.09 submission attempts / 15 · 3 career sub wins

Striking defense

65 C+

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

  • 60% striking defense · 3.28 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 5 defeats

Counter punching

39 D

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

  • 45% accuracy on 3.77 SLpM
  • 0.16 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 60% · TD def 76% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.28 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

47 D

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

  • 3.77 SLpM at 45% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.28 SApM

Takedown reaction

65 C+

Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.

  • 76% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 0 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

85 A

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 5 losses
  • 9 decision wins — proof they last and still score
