What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Punching agility

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

  • Takedown reaction

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

  • Counter punching

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

Scouting report

Louie Sutherland “Vanilla Gorilla” is a 32-year-old Orthodox heavyweight out of England, camped at Team Titan. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 11-6-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 0 by submission, 11 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (59).

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 C+ on 4.95 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 64% / 3.97 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 65% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Punching agility is the soft spot (49, D). Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries. 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 Sutherland 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

62 C+

Ground work is situational, not a finishing engine. Expect clinch entries more than a mat cycle.

  • 4.95 takedowns / 15 at 43% accuracy
  • 0.00 submission attempts / 15 · 0 career sub wins

Striking defense

61 C+

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

  • 64% striking defense · 3.97 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 6 defeats

Counter punching

53 C

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

  • 80% accuracy on 1.81 SLpM
  • 0.10 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

57 C

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

  • Str def 64% · TD def 65% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.97 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

49 D

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

  • 1.81 SLpM at 80% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.97 SApM

Takedown reaction

52 C

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

  • 65% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 2 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 6 losses
  • 11 decision wins — proof they last and still score
