What they do well

  • Punching agility

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

  • Striking defense

    Hard to hit clean. Low absorb rate and a quiet chin record — opponents have to work for every clean look.

  • Timing & reaction

    Sees shots and level changes early. The tape proxy (defense + absorb + knockdown timing) reads like a fast nervous system.

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.

  • Durability

    Finishable. When this fighter loses, it is usually because something landed flush or the neck gave out.

Scouting report

Iwo Baraniewski “Rudy” is a 27-year-old Orthodox light heavyweight out of Poland, camped at Aligatores Fight Club. The tape read: power striker. Career mark 9-0-0 — 8 by KO/TKO, 2 by submission, 0 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (71).

What works. Punching agility is the standout at 95 (A+). 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 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense A+ at 100% / 0.00 SApM. Counter punching B; punching agility A+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction B on 85% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 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. Losses lean decision more often than a highlight — the issue is usually control of minutes, not a glass jaw.
