Durability
Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.
Counter punching
Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.
Takedown reaction
A takedown magnet. Low TD defense plus submission losses — this is the hole a grappler builds a camp around.

Azamat Bekoev “Iron” is a 30-year-old Orthodox middleweight out of Russia, camped at American Top Team. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 20-5-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 8 by submission, 12 by decision. Fight IQ grades B (68).
What works. Durability is the standout at 81 (B+). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game C on 3.48 TD/15 and 0.00 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 59% / 3.00 SApM. Counter punching C; 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 (52, C). 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 Bekoev yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice.
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.
Enough snap to score and to threaten. Not a blur, but the volume is organized.
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.
