4-2 in his last six bouts and still a staple of the heavyweight division, Blaydes will look to bounce back better than ever against Kuniev, who has yet to see it all in the UFC Octagon, unlike "Razor" - from facing the power of Francis Ngannou to wins over former world champions in Junior Dos Santos and Alexander Volkov.
