Curtis Blaydes vs Rizvan Kuniev - AI generated fight pick

Curtis Blaydes holds a significant experience advantage in the UFC heavyweight division, consistently fighting top contenders and maintaining a #5 ranking. His wrestling background is elite, and he has demonstrated an ability to control heavyweights with his takedowns, as evidenced by his 53% takedown accuracy and high-level ground-and-pound. Although Rizvan Kuniev has impressive regional credentials and a perfect takedown defense so far (100%), his UFC experience is limited and he has not faced anyone close to the caliber of Blaydes. Blaydes' 80-inch reach and 46-inch leg reach also give him physical advantages for controlling distance and wrestling exchanges. Historically, fighters with Blaydes' profile—wrestling base, elite experience, and physical advantages—have a high win rate against less tested heavyweights. While Kuniev's striking accuracy (72%) and takedown accuracy (75%) are notable, the step up in competition is dramatic. Unless Blaydes is caught early, his wrestling and experience should dictate the fight.
