What they do well

  • Durability

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

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.

  • Counter punching

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

  • Takedown reaction

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

Scouting report

Malcolm Wellmaker “The Machine” is a 32-year-old Switch bantamweight out of USA, camped at Faglier's Mixed Martial Arts. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 10-2-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 2 by submission, 8 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (64).

What works. Durability is the standout at 85 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.00 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 59% / 3.00 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 85% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (16, 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. When Wellmaker loses, it is usually a finish (0 KO, 1 sub) — composure under the first clean hurt is the live question.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Wellmaker yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.
