What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Punching agility

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

  • Takedown reaction

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

  • Counter punching

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

Scouting report

Kurtis Campbell “The Pink Panther” is a 24-year-old Switch featherweight out of England, camped at MMA Academy Liverpool. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 8-1-0 — 2 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 5 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (69).

What works. Durability is the standout at 80 (B+). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game C+ on 8.76 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 61% / 3.38 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D on 50% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Punching agility is the soft spot (46, D). Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries. 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 4702589 (KO/TKO R2) · W 5110465 (KO/TKO R1) · W 4913045 (Submission R2) · W 5310114 (KO/TKO R1) · W 5310115 (Decision - Unanimous R5). Form index positive over the last 5. 1 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Ground game

66 C+

Ground work is situational, not a finishing engine. Expect clinch entries more than a mat cycle.

  • 8.76 takedowns / 15 at 40% accuracy
  • 0.00 submission attempts / 15 · 1 career sub wins

Striking defense

64 C+

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

  • 61% striking defense · 3.38 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 1 defeats

Counter punching

49 D

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

  • 46% accuracy on 3.50 SLpM
  • 0.31 knockdowns / 15 · 2 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

50 C

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

  • Str def 61% · TD def 50% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.38 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

46 D

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

  • 3.50 SLpM at 46% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.38 SApM

Takedown reaction

46 D

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

  • 50% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 0 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

80 B+

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

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