What they do well

  • Durability

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

  • Punching agility

    Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.

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.

Scouting report

Tallison Teixeira “Xicao” is a 26-year-old Orthodox heavyweight out of Brazil, camped at Team Lucas Mineiro. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 9-2-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 8 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (70).

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 2.40 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 58% / 2.90 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility B (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 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (38, 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.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Teixeira 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

38 D

Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.

  • 2.40 takedowns / 15 at 30% accuracy
  • 0.00 submission attempts / 15 · 1 career sub wins

Striking defense

67 C+

Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice.

  • 58% striking defense · 2.90 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 2 defeats

Counter punching

  • 0.51 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

66 C+

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

  • Throws without paying full retail: 2.90 SApM

Takedown reaction

65 C+

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

  • 0 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

85 A

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

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