Scouting report

Farid Basharat “Ferocious” is a 29-year-old Orthodox bantamweight out of the UFC roster, camped at American Top Team. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels. Career mark 16-0-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 6 by submission, 10 by decision. Fight IQ grades B+ (78).

What works. Durability is the standout at 82 (B+). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game C on 3.57 TD/15 and 0.27 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 59% / 3.04 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 71% 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 (46, 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.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Basharat yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Ground game

59 C

Ground work is situational, not a finishing engine. Expect clinch entries more than a mat cycle.

  • 3.57 takedowns / 15 at 38% accuracy
  • 0.27 submission attempts / 15 · 6 career sub wins

Striking defense

66 C+

Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice.

  • 59% striking defense · 3.04 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 0 defeats

Counter punching

46 D

Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

  • 59% accuracy on 4.46 SLpM
  • 0.10 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

59 C

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

  • Str def 59% · TD def 71% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.04 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

62 C+

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

  • 4.46 SLpM at 59% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.04 SApM

Takedown reaction

64 C+

Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.

  • 71% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 0 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

82 B+

Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 0 losses
  • 10 decision wins — proof they last and still score
