What they do well

No standout plus-mark on this card.

Where they leak

  • Striking defense

    Defensive liability. Opponents land at a clip that turns every exchange into a finish window.

  • Timing & reaction

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

  • Punching agility

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

Scouting report

Serghei Spivac “Polar Bear” is a 31-year-old Orthodox heavyweight out of Moldova, camped at Polar Bear Team. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — porous pocket. Career mark 18-6-0 — 5 by KO/TKO, 8 by submission, 5 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (69).

What works. Ground game is the standout at 69 (B). Competent offensive grappling — enough volume and threat to change where the fight is scored. Ground game B on 3.82 TD/15 and 0.48 sub attempts. Striking defense D at 44% / 7.30 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 70% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Striking defense is the soft spot (27, D). Defensive liability. Opponents land at a clip that turns every exchange into a finish window. Opponents who draw them into the pocket and throw with bad intentions 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 (6 bouts): W 3041315 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L Acosta (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L 4873640 (KO/TKO R1) · W 3093559 (Submission R1) · L Gane (KO/TKO R2). Form index negative over the last 5. 1 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.
