What they do well

  • Durability

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

  • Fight IQ

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

  • Punching agility

    Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.

Where they leak

  • Takedown reaction

    A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.

  • Ground game

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

  • Timing & reaction

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

Scouting report

Jean Silva “Lord” is a 29-year-old Orthodox featherweight out of Brazil, camped at Fighting Nerds. The tape read: pocket striker — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 17-3-0 — 5 by KO/TKO, 3 by submission, 9 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (76).

What works. Durability is the standout at 81 (B+). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 1.20 TD/15 and 0.60 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 50% / 2.30 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility B (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 57% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Takedown reaction is the soft spot (43, D). A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around. 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.

Recent tape (6 bouts): W 3902098 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L 4881999 (KO/TKO R2) · W 3953381 (Submission R2) · W 4686734 (KO/TKO R1) · W 2951202 (TKO - Doctor's Stoppage R3). Form index positive over the last 5. 2 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.
