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.

  • Punching agility

    Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

Scouting report

Adam Livingston “Bomb” is a 25-year-old Orthodox lightweight out of USA, camped at Long Island MMA. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 7-1-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 6 by decision. Fight IQ grades D (49).

What works. Durability is the standout at 83 (B+). 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 67% / 4.47 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (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 6 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (15, 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.

Recent tape (6 bouts): W 5364356 (KO/TKO R2) · L 5307814 (Submission R1) · W 5308114 (TKO (Doctor Stoppage) R2) · W 5152946 (KO/TKO R1) · W 5308113 (KO/TKO R2). Form index positive over the last 5. 1 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Ground game

15 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
  • 0.00 submission attempts / 15 · 1 career sub wins

Striking defense

61 C+

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

  • 67% striking defense · 4.47 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 1 defeats

Counter punching

26 D

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

  • 33% accuracy on 0.36 SLpM
  • 0.10 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.

  • Str def 67% · TD def 85% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 4.47 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

28 D

Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

  • 0.36 SLpM at 33% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 4.47 SApM

Takedown reaction

51 C

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

  • 85% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 1 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

83 B+

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 1 losses
  • 6 decision wins — proof they last and still score
