Scouting report

Zach Reese “Savage” is a 32-year-old Switch middleweight out of USA, camped at Bangtao Muay Thai. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 10-4-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 3 by submission, 7 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (67).

What works. Durability is the standout at 84 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game B on 2.80 TD/15 and 1.27 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 59% / 3.03 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 74% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Counter punching is the soft spot (49, D). Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax. 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 Reese 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

71 B

Competent offensive grappling — enough volume and threat to change where the fight is scored.

  • 2.80 takedowns / 15 at 61% accuracy
  • 1.27 submission attempts / 15 · 3 career sub wins

Striking defense

66 C+

Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice.

  • 59% striking defense · 3.03 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 4 defeats

Counter punching

49 D

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

  • 61% accuracy on 4.48 SLpM
  • 0.19 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

61 C+

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

  • Str def 59% · TD def 74% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.03 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

62 C+

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

  • 4.48 SLpM at 61% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.03 SApM

Takedown reaction

65 C+

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

  • 74% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 0 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

84 A

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 4 losses
  • 7 decision wins — proof they last and still score
