Timing & reaction
Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.
Muhammad Naimov “Hillman” is a 32-year-old Orthodox featherweight out of Tajikistan, camped at Elevation Fight Team. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — suspect hips against the shot, porous pocket. Career mark 13-4-0 — 3 by KO/TKO, 2 by submission, 8 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (66).
What works. Durability is the standout at 88 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 1.49 TD/15 and 0.17 sub attempts. Striking defense D at 39% / 2.53 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility D (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction D 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. 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.
Recent tape (6 bouts): L Santos (KO/TKO R3) · W 5144006 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · W 5204223 (Decision - Unanimous R3) · L Lima (Submission R3) · W 5075335 (KO/TKO R1). Form index positive over the last 5. 3 of those wins reached the championship minutes — cardio and late IQ are real.

Defensive liability. Opponents land at a clip that turns every exchange into a finish window.
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.
A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.
Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.
