Timing & reaction
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
Petr Yan “No Mercy” is a 33-year-old Switch bantamweight out of Russia, camped at BK Arkhangel Mikhail. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 20-5-0 — 6 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 13 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (75).
What works. Durability is the standout at 89 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 1.70 TD/15 and 0.11 sub attempts. Striking defense C at 52% / 3.48 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction B on 81% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 2 loaded UFC rows.
Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (36, 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.
Recent tape (2 bouts): W Figueiredo (Decision - Unanimous R5) · W Yadong (Decision - Unanimous R3). Form index positive over the last 2. 2 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.
Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.
Can stuff the first shot. Chain wrestling and the second entry are the real test.
