What they do well

  • Durability

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

Where they leak

  • Ground game

    Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.

  • Counter punching

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

Scouting report

Rafael Fiziev “Ataman” is a 33-year-old Switch lightweight out of Azerbaijan, camped at Tiger Muay Thai. The tape read: pocket striker. Career mark 14-5-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 13 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (60).

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 1.00 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 59% / 2.95 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 81% 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 (34, 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 Fiziev yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.
