Sean Sharaf “The Smoke” is a 33-year-old Orthodox heavyweight out of USA, camped at Xtreme Couture. The tape read: volume pressure striker — porous pocket. Career mark 4-2-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 0 by submission, 4 by decision. Fight IQ grades D (50).
What works. Durability is the standout at 77 (B+). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game D on 0.93 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense D at 45% / 7.10 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 81% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.
Where it breaks. Counter punching is the soft spot (13, D). This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting. 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.
Recent tape (6 bouts): L 5239615 (KO/TKO R2) · L Tafa (KO/TKO R2) · W 5240965 (KO/TKO R1) · W 5223430 (KO/TKO R1) · W 5240974 (KO/TKO R1). Form index positive over the last 5. Most of the loaded finishes happen before the deep water.

Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
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.
Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.
