What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Ground game

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

  • Counter punching

    This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

Scouting report

Kevin Vallejos “El Chino” is a 24-year-old Switch featherweight out of Argentina, camped at Brothers of Life MMA. The tape read: volume pressure striker. Career mark 18-1-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 2 by submission, 16 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (63).

What works. Durability is the standout at 85 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.66 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 56% / 2.46 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility B (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 82% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (23, 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 Vallejos yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.
