Curtis Blaydes will be the favorite when welcomes Rizvan Kuniev to the Octagon at UFC Baku.
Blaydes will take on Kuniev at UFC on ABC 8 on Saturday at the Baku Crystal Hall in Baku as the promotion heads to Azerbaijan for the first time. Blaydes is a sizeable -265 favorite on most sportsbooks against Kuniev, a +210 underdog.
Blaydes has dropped two of his last three outings, all of which ended via knockout. Blaydes suffered a first-round technical knockout loss to Sergei Pavlovich in 2023 but rebounded with a second-round stoppage against Jailton Almeida at UFC 299.
