Scouting report

Mansur Abdul-Malik is a 28-year-old Orthodox middleweight out of USA, camped at MMA Masters. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels — suspect hips against the shot. Career mark 9-2-1 — 0 by KO/TKO, 2 by submission, 7 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (57).

What works. Durability is the standout at 85 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 1.65 TD/15 and 0.33 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 61% / 3.45 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C on 78% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (41, 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. When Abdul-Malik loses, it is usually a finish (0 KO, 1 sub) — composure under the first clean hurt is the live question.

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