UFC 313: Curtis Blaydes vs. Rizvan Kuniev: Live round-by-round updates

The UFC 313 preliminary card concludes with a compelling heavyweight clash between longtime contender Curtis Blaydes and debuting prospect Rizvan Kuniev.

Blaydes lost to Tom Aspinall last summer in a contest for the interim heavyweight championship. The American holds a record of 18-5 (1 no contest). He also has formidable finishing skills, having won 13 of his 18 fights via knockout.

Kuniev, a Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS) graduate, steps into the octagon for the first time with a 12-2-1 record. He also holds solid finishing skills, with six knockouts and two submissions. Kuniev has quietly built momentum in regional promotions, with a high-profile TKO win over Hugo Cunha on DWCS.
