What they do well

  • Punching agility

    Hands move. High clean output for the age band — combinations come in bursts, not long-arm pawing.

Where they leak

  • Takedown reaction

    A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.

  • 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

    This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

Scouting report

Jackson McVey “The Moose” is a 27-year-old Southpaw middleweight out of USA, camped at St. Charles MMA. The tape read: volume pressure striker — suspect hips against the shot, southpaw. Career mark 7-2-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 4 by submission, 3 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (54).

What works. Punching agility is the standout at 82 (B+). Hands move. High clean output for the age band — combinations come in bursts, not long-arm pawing. Ground game D on 0.00 TD/15 and 1.20 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 22% / 1.40 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility B+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 0% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Takedown reaction is the soft spot (11, D). A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around. Opponents who force wrestling and keep the fight on the fence have historically been the ones who make this résumé leak. When McVey loses, it is usually a finish (0 KO, 2 sub) — composure under the first clean hurt is the live question.

Recent tape (6 bouts): W 5060467 (Submission R1) · L 5143223 (Submission R2) · L Ferreira (Submission R1) · W 5291739 (TKO (Knees and Punches) R1) · W 4819971 (Submission (Brabo Choke) R1). Form index positive over the last 5. Most of the loaded finishes happen before the deep water.

Ground game

37 D

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

  • 0.00 takedowns / 15 at 0% accuracy
  • 1.20 submission attempts / 15 · 4 career sub wins

Striking defense

66 C+

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

  • 22% striking defense · 1.40 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 2 defeats

Counter punching

38 D

This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

  • 73% accuracy on 6.51 SLpM
  • 0.00 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

41 D

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

  • Str def 22% · TD def 0% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 1.40 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

82 B+

Hands move. High clean output for the age band — combinations come in bursts, not long-arm pawing.

  • 6.51 SLpM at 73% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 1.40 SApM

Takedown reaction

11 D

A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.

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

Durability

68 B

Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.

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