(24613) Rizvan Kuniev at (24614) Curtis Blaydes
4:30pm EDT - Jun 21/2025

THE PLAY: Total Under 2.5 (-125)

Don't blink. With a couple of 250-plus pounders squaring off against each other, this one might not last long. I feel that the Blaydes vs. Kuniev fight, set for UFC Baku is likely to end quickly due to both fighters' aggressive finishing styles and contrasting skill sets. Blaydes, a dominant wrestler with 13 knockouts in 18 wins, can overwhelm opponents with his 5.69 takedowns per 15 minutes and devastating ground-and-pound, potentially exploiting Kuniev’s untested grappling against elite UFC competition. Meanwhile, Kuniev’s precise striking (5.12 significant strikes per minute, 78% accuracy) and Wushu Sanda background make him a knockout threat, especially given Blaydes’ history of being stopped by power punchers like Francis Ngannou and Derrick Lewis. With both fighters boasting high finish rates—Blaydes’ ground dominance and Kuniev’s striking prowess, a relatively quick knockout or submission seems probable in this heavyweight clash. Go with the under 2.5 rounds. 

Ben Burns is 5-0/100% All-Time with his UFC 5% releases. Next one goes early Saturday
