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

  • Punching agility

    Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

  • Counter punching

    Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

Scouting report

Cristian Pérez “Puas” is a 27-year-old Orthodox lightweight out of Mexico, camped at The Goat Shed. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels. Career mark 15-2-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 6 by submission, 9 by decision. Fight IQ grades B+ (77).

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 B on 3.46 TD/15 and 1.15 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 65% / 4.14 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 71% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Punching agility is the soft spot (49, D). Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries. Opponents who out-speed the first exchange and never stay on the centerline 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 Pérez yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Ground game

71 B

Competent offensive grappling — enough volume and threat to change where the fight is scored.

  • 3.46 takedowns / 15 at 38% accuracy
  • 1.15 submission attempts / 15 · 6 career sub wins

Striking defense

61 C+

Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.

  • 65% striking defense · 4.14 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 2 defeats

Counter punching

50 D

Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

  • 66% accuracy on 1.31 SLpM
  • 0.16 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

60 C+

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

  • Str def 65% · TD def 71% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 4.14 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

49 D

Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

  • 1.31 SLpM at 66% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 4.14 SApM

Takedown reaction

64 C+

Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.

  • 71% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 0 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

81 B+

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 2 losses
  • 9 decision wins — proof they last and still score
