What they do well

  • Durability

    Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.

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.

  • 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.

Scouting report

Ozzy Diaz “One Hit” is a 35-year-old Orthodox middleweight out of USA, camped at Kings MMA. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 10-4-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 2 by submission, 8 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (65).

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 D on 0.00 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 57% / 2.73 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction B on 85% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (16, 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.

Recent tape (6 bouts): L 5218421 (KO/TKO R2) · W 5211247 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L 4845284 (KO/TKO R1) · W 4249192 (KO/TKO R2) · W 4704451 (KO/TKO R1). Form index positive over the last 5. 1 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Ground game

16 D

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

  • 0.00 takedowns / 15 at 0% accuracy
  • 0.00 submission attempts / 15 · 2 career sub wins

Striking defense

66 C+

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

  • 57% striking defense · 2.73 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 4 defeats

Counter punching

34 D

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

  • 50% accuracy on 5.33 SLpM
  • 0.10 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 57% · TD def 85% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 2.73 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

55 C

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

  • 5.33 SLpM at 50% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 2.73 SApM

Takedown reaction

69 B

Can stuff the first shot. Chain wrestling and the second entry are the real test.

  • 85% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 0 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

78 B+

Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 4 losses
  • 8 decision wins — proof they last and still score
