What they do well

No standout plus-mark on this card.

Where they leak

  • Takedown reaction

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

  • Timing & reaction

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

  • Striking defense

    Defensive liability. Opponents land at a clip that turns every exchange into a finish window.

Scouting report

Édgar Cháirez “Puro Chicali” is a 30-year-old Orthodox flyweight out of Mexico, camped at Entram Gym. The tape read: pocket striker — suspect hips against the shot, porous pocket. Career mark 14-6-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 9 by submission, 5 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (53).

What works. Durability is the standout at 70 (B). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game D on 0.00 TD/15 and 1.44 sub attempts. Striking defense D at 41% / 7.87 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (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 (19, 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): W 3895544 (Submission R1) · W 4916248 (Decision - Split R3) · W 4396359 (Submission R1) · L Van (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 4895772 (Submission R1). Form index positive over the last 5. 1 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.
