Mario Piazzon is a 28-year-old Orthodox heavyweight out of Brazil, camped at Galpao Da Luta. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 12-1-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 11 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (73).
What works. Durability is the standout at 83 (B+). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game B on 18.87 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense C at 65% / 4.13 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 40% 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 5053903 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 4065372 (KO/TKO R2) · L 3093560 (KO/TKO R1) · W 5053903 (KO/TKO R2) · W 5364351 (Submission (Arm Triangle) R1). Form index positive over the last 5. 2 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.
Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.
