What they do well

  • Durability

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

  • Fight IQ

    Knows the assignment. Game plans hold up for 15 minutes; the adjustments are incremental, not chaotic.

Where they leak

  • Counter punching

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

  • Timing & reaction

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

Scouting report

Movsar Evloev is a 32-year-old Orthodox featherweight out of Russia, camped at American Top Team. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels. Career mark 20-0-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 4 by submission, 16 by decision. Fight IQ grades B+ (79).

What works. Durability is the standout at 85 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game B on 4.78 TD/15 and 0.19 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 60% / 3.23 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 66% 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 (51, C). 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 Evloev 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

69 B

Competent offensive grappling — enough volume and threat to change where the fight is scored.

  • 0.19 submission attempts / 15 · 4 career sub wins

Counter punching

51 C

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

Timing & reaction

57 C

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

Punching agility

58 C

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

  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.23 SApM

Takedown reaction

Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.

Durability

85 A

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