What they do well

  • Durability

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

  • 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.

  • Fight IQ

    Predictable under stress. When the first look fails, the tape shows the same entry again.

Scouting report

Gauge Young “Gee Money” is a 26-year-old Orthodox lightweight out of USA, camped at Ignite Jiu-Jitsu. The tape read: volume pressure striker. Career mark 11-3-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 10 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (58).

What works. Durability is the standout at 87 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.75 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 55% / 2.39 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility B (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 82% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (24, 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 (6 bouts): W 3955778 (Decision - Split R3) · W 4895360 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L 5037883 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 5279286 (TKO (Punches) R2) · L 5157667 (Decision - Unanimous R3). Form index positive over the last 5. 2 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.
