Scouting report

Azamat Murzakanov “The Professional” is a 37-year-old Southpaw light heavyweight out of Russia, camped at K Dojo. The tape read: pocket striker — southpaw. Career mark 16-1-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 15 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (67).

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 D on 0.68 TD/15 and 0.23 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 59% / 3.06 SApM. Counter punching C+; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 82% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (24, D). Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain. Opponents who force wrestling and keep the fight on the fence 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 Murzakanov yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.
