What they do well

  • Durability

    Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.

Where they leak

  • Punching agility

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

  • Counter punching

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

  • Takedown reaction

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

Scouting report

Saygid Izagakhmaev is a 31-year-old Orthodox welterweight out of Russia, camped at Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov Martial Arts School. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels. Career mark 22-4-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 13 by submission, 9 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (70).

What works. Durability is the standout at 75 (B). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game C+ on 4.00 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 65% / 4.13 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 69% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Punching agility is the soft spot (49, D). Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries. 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 Izagakhmaev 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

62 C+

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

  • 4.00 takedowns / 15 at 40% accuracy
  • 0.00 submission attempts / 15 · 13 career sub wins

Striking defense

61 C+

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

  • 65% striking defense · 4.13 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 4 defeats

Counter punching

52 C

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

  • 74% accuracy on 1.33 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 65% · TD def 69% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 4.13 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

49 D

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

  • 1.33 SLpM at 74% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 4.13 SApM

Takedown reaction

56 C

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

  • 69% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 1 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

75 B

Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 4 losses
  • 9 decision wins — proof they last and still score
