Brunno Ferreira “The Hulk” is a 33-year-old Orthodox middleweight out of Brazil, camped at Brazilian TKO. The tape read: power striker — suspect hips against the shot, porous pocket. Career mark 15-4-0 — 6 by KO/TKO, 5 by submission, 4 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (64).
What works. Durability is the standout at 64 (C+). Finishable. When this fighter loses, it is usually because something landed flush or the neck gave out. Ground game D on 1.25 TD/15 and 0.75 sub attempts. Striking defense C at 54% / 3.33 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 67% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 7 loaded UFC rows.
Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (41, 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 (7 bouts): L 4684776 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L Rodrigues (KO/TKO R1) · W Vettori (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W McVey (Submission R1) · W 4894791 (Submission R2). Form index positive over the last 5. 1 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.
Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.
A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.
Finishable. When this fighter loses, it is usually because something landed flush or the neck gave out.
