What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • 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.

  • Takedown reaction

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

Scouting report

Abus Magomedov is a 35-year-old Orthodox middleweight out of Germany, camped at UFD Gym. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 29-7-1 — 0 by KO/TKO, 8 by submission, 21 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (63).

What works. Durability is the standout at 84 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game C on 2.50 TD/15 and 0.58 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 62% / 3.53 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 75% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Counter punching is the soft spot (43, D). Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax. 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.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Magomedov yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Ground game

58 C

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

  • 2.50 takedowns / 15 at 59% accuracy
  • 0.58 submission attempts / 15 · 8 career sub wins

Striking defense

63 C+

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

  • 62% striking defense · 3.53 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 7 defeats

Counter punching

43 D

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

  • 53% accuracy on 3.06 SLpM
  • 0.10 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

58 C

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

  • Str def 62% · TD def 75% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.53 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

43 D

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

  • 3.06 SLpM at 53% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.53 SApM

Takedown reaction

53 C

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

  • 75% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 3 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

84 A

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

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 7 losses
  • 21 decision wins — proof they last and still score
