What they do well

  • Durability

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

  • Punching agility

    Hands move. High clean output for the age band — combinations come in bursts, not long-arm pawing.

  • 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.

  • Counter punching

    This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

Scouting report

Jose Delano is a 30-year-old Orthodox featherweight out of Brazil, camped at Brazilian Top Team. The tape read: volume pressure striker. Career mark 17-3-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 5 by submission, 12 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (72).

What works. Durability is the standout at 83 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.00 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 51% / 1.65 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility B+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 85% 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 (17, 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 Delano yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.
