Nursulton Ruziboev “Black” is a 32-year-old Orthodox middleweight out of Uzbekistan, camped at Shahrixon MMA. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels. Career mark 37-9-2 — 4 by KO/TKO, 21 by submission, 12 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (64).
What works. Durability is the standout at 69 (B). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game D on 1.36 TD/15 and 0.34 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 40% / 0.60 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 80% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 6 loaded UFC rows.
Where it breaks. Counter punching is the soft spot (32, D). Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax. 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.
Recent tape (6 bouts): W 5211225 (Submission R1) · W 4685871 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 2478987 (KO/TKO R2) · L 4024714 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 5060467 (KO/TKO R1). Form index positive over the last 5. 1 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.
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.
Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.
Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.
