UFC Record Breakdown
This heavyweight scrap just got way more interesting. Rizvan Kuniev was supposed to face Ryan Spann, but now he's getting a massive upgrade with Jailton Almeida stepping in on three weeks notice. Almeida's ranked sixth in the division, and Kuniev's about to find out what that level feels like. This is Paramount's first UFC Fight Night, and they're getting a legit test for both guys. Almeida's had a rough stretch lately. He got stopped by Curtis Blaydes at UFC 299, then dropped a split decision to Alexander Volkov back in October. Before that though?
If Almeida gets this to the ground early, we could see a finish in the first round, but if Kuniev keeps it standing, this could turn into a gritty battle.
Dude was a finishing machine. He choked out Alexandr Romanov in under three minutes and beat Derrick Lewis over five rounds in Brazil. When he's rolling, he's one of the scariest grapplers at heavyweight. Kuniev just lost a split decision to that same Curtis Blaydes in June, so both these guys are trying to bounce back. Here's the thing about Almeida on short notice. He's always in shape, always ready to scrap. His grappling is nasty, and if he gets you down, good luck getting back up.
Against Spivac at UFC 311, he took the back and finished with punches in the first round. That's the Jailton everyone remembers. Kuniev's tough and durable, but he's never faced someone with this kind of submission threat. For Kuniev, this is a chance to make a statement. Beat a ranked guy and suddenly you're in the conversation. For Almeida, he needs to prove those losses were just bumps in the road and he's still a problem for anyone in the top ten.
