The supplied numbers and results paint a picture of a flyweight who pairs measured striking volume with frequent grappling. Almabayev is credited with 2.31 significant strikes landed per minute (SLpM) and 1.99 significant strikes absorbed per minute (SApM), alongside a 53% striking defense rate. Those figures suggest he has generally limited incoming damage while operating at a moderate pace on the feet. His wrestling and submission metrics are prominent: 4.46 takedowns landed per 15 minutes (TD Avg) and 1.5 submissions attempted per 15 minutes (Sub Avg). Inference from the outcomes supports that grappling is a core pathway—three of the listed wins are by submission (round 2 over Ode Osbourne; round 3 over Alex Perez; round 3 over Charles Johnson). A clear pattern in the fight log is distance management over time: six of his eight listed UFC bouts ended in round 3, including four unanimous-decision wins. That suggests comfort working through extended minutes and winning rounds, though the dataset does not provide round-by-round scoring or control time to confirm how those rounds were built. His lone recorded setback was a round-3 KO/TKO loss, which may indicate some late-fight defensive exposure in at least that matchup, but a single result is not enough to generalize.
