Across the supplied record, Brahimaj’s clearest career pattern is a strong leaning toward grappling-based finishes. Four of his five wins are by submission, and three of those submission wins came in the first round (vs. Billy Ray Goff in 2025, Micheal Gillmore in 2022, and Sasha Palatnikov in 2021). The remaining win is a first-round KO/TKO (vs. Mickey Gall in 2024). Factually, that gives him a high finish rate in victories and a tendency for his wins to arrive early. On the other side of the ledger, his losses in this snapshot are split between one KO/TKO loss (Max Griffin, 2020) and three unanimous decision losses (Court McGee, Themba Gorimbo, and Punahele Soriano). That pattern can support a cautious inference: when he does not secure a finish, his fights have sometimes extended to the scorecards, where he has not registered a decision win in this dataset. His striking volume metrics in the snapshot show 2.29 significant strikes landed per minute against 3.27 absorbed per minute, alongside a 47% striking defense rate. Those numbers align with a style that may accept exchanges or pressure in pursuit of grappling opportunities, but the dataset alone cannot confirm tactics such as shot selection or clinch frequency.
