Style Matchup Analysis

Where this game is vulnerable

Exploitable Patterns

1

Physically stronger opponents who can overpower her technique in the clinch

2

Pressure passers with heavy top control who can pin her guard

3

Larger opponents where the size gap negates technical advantages

Nightmare Matchup

Gabi Garcia

Garcia's size and strength advantage is simply too much. Ffion's technical guard game — her biggest weapon — gets crushed under Garcia's weight and power.

Closest Calls

L
ADCC 2022 -55kg Final·2022

Ste-Marie's wrestling and scramble ability pushed Ffion to the limit in one of the best women's ADCC finals ever.

Engine Insight

Relative weakness: Takedowns (78) is 5 points below their 83 average — opponents strong in this area have the best chance.
