What they do well

  • Ground game

    Chain wrestling and submissions are a primary weapon. 6 tapouts and 7.8 TD/15 put opponents on the fence or the mat.

  • Durability

    Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.

  • Fight IQ

    Knows the assignment. Game plans hold up for 15 minutes; the adjustments are incremental, not chaotic.

Where they leak

  • Punching agility

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

  • Counter punching

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

  • Timing & reaction

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

Scouting report

Austin Bashi is a 24-year-old Orthodox featherweight out of USA, camped at Warrior Way Martial Arts. The tape read: chain-wrestling grappler — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 14-2-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 6 by submission, 8 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (72).

What works. Ground game is the standout at 90 (A). Chain wrestling and submissions are a primary weapon. 6 tapouts and 7.8 TD/15 put opponents on the fence or the mat. Ground game A on 7.81 TD/15 and 1.67 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 65% / 3.99 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 54% 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 (42, 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 Bashi yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.
