What works. Ground game is the standout at 92 (A+). Chain wrestling and submissions are a primary weapon. 6 tapouts and 5.3 TD/15 put opponents on the fence or the mat. Ground game A+ on 5.32 TD/15 and 1.37 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 60% / 3.20 SApM. Counter punching C+; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 64% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.
Where it breaks. Timing & reaction is the soft spot (59, C). Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent. Opponents who take away their first look and make them solve a second problem 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 Chimaev yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.
Can punish a reaching opponent. Not a pure counter artist, but the return shot is live.

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.
