Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (14, 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.

Average-plus reactions. Gets touched, but rarely frozen in place when the shot or the shot-to-takedown comes.
Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.
Can stuff the first shot. Chain wrestling and the second entry are the real test.
Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.
