Timing & reaction
Sees shots and level changes early. The tape proxy (defense + absorb + knockdown timing) reads like a fast nervous system.
Striking defense
Hard to hit clean. Low absorb rate and a quiet chin record — opponents have to work for every clean look.
Counter punching
Lives in the return. High accuracy and knockdown timing — the first clean read often ends the exchange.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (12, 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. When Ruffy loses, it is usually a finish (0 KO, 1 sub) — composure under the first clean hurt is the live question.
Recent tape (6 bouts): W Chandler (KO/TKO R1) · W 4339488 (KO/TKO R2) · L 4895362 (Submission R2) · W 2502364 (KO/TKO R1) · W 5075748 (Decision - Unanimous R3). Form index positive over the last 5. 1 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.
Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.
Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.
