Where they leak

  • Punching agility

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

Scouting report

What works. Durability is the standout at 78 (B+). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game D on 0.94 TD/15 and 0.47 sub attempts.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (36, 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.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Prado 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

36 D

Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.

  • 0.94 takedowns / 15 at 19% accuracy
  • 0.47 submission attempts / 15 · 6 career sub wins

65 C+

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

Counter punching

38 D

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

  • 0.16 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

62 C+

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

  • Str def 60% · TD def 81% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.17 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

48 D

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

  • 4.09 SLpM at 46% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.17 SApM

Takedown reaction

67 C+

Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.

  • 81% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 0 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

78 B+

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 5 losses
  • 6 decision wins — proof they last and still score
