Otari Tanzilovi

Otari Tanzilovi is an Orthodox-stance fighter from the lightweight division with a professional record of 10-1-0, though recent competition has proven challenging following a split-decision loss to Josias Musasa in September 2024. The 26-year-old stands 5'10" with a 70-inch reach and has built his career on precise striking rather than power or submission threat.

Tanzilovi lands 4.53 strikes per minute with an impressive 72% accuracy rate, though his defensive metrics reveal vulnerabilities—he absorbs 3.33 strikes per minute with only 55% striking defense. His grappling profile is mixed; he averages 4.00 takedown attempts per 15 minutes but converts at just 25% accuracy while defending zero takedowns on record, suggesting limited wrestling success against quality opposition.

With no knockout power (0.0 KO score) and no submission average, Tanzilovi relies on volume and precision to win fights, a style that requires consistency and ring control. The split decision against Musasa indicates his striking-based approach may struggle against well-rounded opponents who can neutralize his volume with effective defense or takedown pressure.

Tanzilovi needs a decisive victory to rebuild momentum in a competitive lightweight landscape.
