Scouting report

Rinya Nakamura “Hybrid” is a 31-year-old Southpaw bantamweight out of Japan, camped at American Top Team. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — southpaw. Career mark 10-1-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 9 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (71).

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 B on 2.58 TD/15 and 1.43 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 61% / 3.46 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility C+ (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. Counter punching is the soft spot (59, C). 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 Nakamura 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

69 B

Competent offensive grappling — enough volume and threat to change where the fight is scored.

  • 2.58 takedowns / 15 at 82% accuracy
  • 1.43 submission attempts / 15 · 1 career sub wins

Striking defense

64 C+

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

  • 61% striking defense · 3.46 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 1 defeats

Counter punching

59 C

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

  • 58% accuracy on 3.27 SLpM
  • 0.76 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

68 B

Average-plus reactions. Gets touched, but rarely frozen in place when the shot or the shot-to-takedown comes.

  • Str def 61% · TD def 75% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.46 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

62 C+

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

  • 3.27 SLpM at 58% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.46 SApM

Takedown reaction

65 C+

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

  • 75% 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 1 losses
  • 9 decision wins — proof they last and still score
