Rizvan Kuniev is ranked #8 at UFC heavyweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.
The record shows a bit of everything: knockouts (6), submissions (2), decisions (5). Well-rounded is an overused word; here it's just accurate. Add a 76" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.
Last time out he beat Jailton Almeida (Decision - Unanimous) — the kind of result that keeps a career pointed in the right direction.
Next up: Tyrell Fortune at UFC Fight Night: Ankalaev vs. Guskov on July 25, 2026. Circle the date.
