Defensive liability. Opponents land at a clip that turns every exchange into a finish window.
Timing & reaction
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (14, 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.
Recent tape (6 bouts): D Padilla (Draw R3) · W 5289736 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 4397797 (Decision - Split R3) · W 4690546 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 4683526 (KO/TKO R1). Form index positive over the last 5. 3 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.
Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.
Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.
