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.

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.

  • Striking defense

    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.

Scouting report

MarQuel Mederos is a 29-year-old Orthodox lightweight out of USA, camped at FactoryX Muay Thai. The tape read: volume pressure striker — porous pocket. Career mark 11-1-1 — 2 by KO/TKO, 0 by submission, 9 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (75).

What works. Durability is the standout at 90 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.23 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense D at 46% / 9.80 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 75% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.

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.
