Striking defense
Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice.
Counter punching
This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

Predictable under stress. When the first look fails, the tape shows the same entry again.
Leon Shahbazyan is a 30-year-old Orthodox welterweight out of Armenia, camped at Glendale Fighting Club. The tape read: volume pressure striker. Career mark 12-5-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 11 by submission, 1 by decision. Fight IQ grades D (49).
What works. Striking defense is the standout at 73 (B). Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice. Ground game D on 1.46 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 55% / 2.38 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility B (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 79% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.
Where it breaks. Counter punching is the soft spot (32, D). This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting. 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 Shahbazyan yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.
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.
