Rizvan Kuniev’s record, in numbers

Rizvan Kuniev’s official record is 14-3-1 (1 NC). Every figure on this page is counted instead from the 18 bouts MMA Hub holds a result for — 13 wins, 3 losses and 2 no contests — because 1 bout from the official record is not in the history we hold.

The 13 wins break down as 6 by knockout, 2 by submission and 5 by decision — 8 of 13 inside the distance, a finish rate of 62%. Across the 17 of 18 bouts with a recorded finishing round, the average bout lasted 9 minutes 54 seconds.

Rizvan Kuniev has never been stopped in the 18 bouts on file; all 3 losses went to a decision. The last 2 bouts on file are both wins.

Of the 18 bouts MMA Hub holds a result for, 2 were for a title and 5 were the main event of the card. Four of them have come since July 2024.

Set against the 498 Heavyweight fighters MMA Hub holds eight or more bouts for, Rizvan Kuniev has a finish rate above 25% of them, a record of avoiding stoppage above 91% of them and a two-year bout count above 88% of them. The comparison is made inside the division rather than across the whole roster, because how often a division finishes depends heavily on what it weighs.

Rizvan Kuniev is listed at 6ft 4in with a reach of 76in, fights orthodox and is 34, born 10 March 1992.

These figures are recomputed from Rizvan Kuniev’s bout history each time results are synced, so they follow the record rather than a fixed snapshot.
