Will Chope, a featherweight card built on one big-stage night
Will Chope has a very thin public record, and it is worth being straight about that. He arrived as a promotional newcomer in January 2014 on a Fight Night card. He was first booked against fellow newcomer Bekbulat Magomedov, but Magomedov was removed and Max Holloway took his place. Holloway stopped him with a second-round TKO, and that fight is the only reference point for this card. Draft him as a low-rated depth pick with a good engine, not a star.
How to read the Chope ratings
Boxing. A modest 72. Nothing on this card reads as a finishing weapon.
Kickboxing. Two points above his boxing at 72, his top striking number. Reasonable but not a reason to draft him.
Wrestling. The clear low point at 66. Against a wrestler he has to win the fight on his feet or not at all.
BJJ. Fair at 72. He is not a specialist on the ground, and the card does not treat him as a submission threat.
Strength. A modest 70. He will not overpower featherweights who are naturally stronger.
Durability. Average at 72. The second-round stoppage against Holloway is the only fight this write-up can point to.
Cardio. His best number at 80, well ahead of everything else on the card. He is meant to be a fighter who stays fresh late.
Fight IQ. An average 72, in line with his striking and grappling numbers.
Cardio at 80 is the one number that stands out
Cardio is the top of his card at 80, six points above his next best category, and it is the clearest reason to use him at all. In the sim that means he can reach the later rounds with something left where a low-rated opponent might be spent. It will not make up for weak spots elsewhere, but it gives him a route to late-round damage if the early exchanges are even.
Wrestling at 66 leaves him with few answers
Wrestling is his lowest rating at 66, and it is the place to attack him. A featherweight who shoots well can drag him into a grind where his engine matters less than the position he is stuck in. The second-round stoppage by Max Holloway is the fight to think of when a rival starts pressing.
