LiontipsNursultan Ruziboev - Andrey Pulyaev: betting tip (cf 2.55) and bets on the fight
Command Analysis
Current form
Nursultan Ruziboev is a fighter who has long been accustomed to living in constant danger. 49 professional fights is a figure that commands respect in itself. In recent fights, he has two wins in a row: a confident decision against Dustin Stoltzfus and a striking knockout in a fight with Eric Mcconico. Although it is worth remembering that that duel was accepted on a short notice from the opponent, which greatly influenced the alignment. Before that, Ruziboev lost to Joaquin Buckley by unanimous decision, and this fight showed that he has a hard time against athletic and explosive opponents.
At the same time, his main trump card has not gone away — his size. Height 196 cm, long levers, the ability to put pressure on the mass and break at a distance. However, in this battle, there will be no habitual advantage in scope: Pulyaev is almost as good in anthropometry, and in some places even looks denser. Ruziboev has 36 wins in his career (15 by knockout, two by decision, 19 by submission) and nine defeats. He is a former champion of the Asian Fighting Championship Akhmat, World Ertaymash Federation, World Fighting Championship Akhmat, Open Fighting Championship.
Current form
Andrey Pulyaev is approaching this fight after losing to Ateba Gauthier in January. But if you just look at the result, you can miss the main thing: he did not fall apart under the pressure of a promising and powerful opponent, but brought the fight to a decision, periodically creating serious problems. In the UFC, Pulyaev has already managed to show that he knows how to keep up the pace and not get lost in fierce competition. The technical knockout victory over Nick Klein is an example of how he can turn on aggression at the right moment. And the fight with Christian Leroy Duncan, despite losing on points, again confirmed that the Russian is able to survive in difficult situations and is not afraid of exchanges with the drummers. He has ten wins (six by knockout, two by decision, two by submission) and four defeats.

Tip and bets
Ruziboev is dangerous at the start and in the exchanges, he can turn off the light at any moment, especially if he catches a convenient distance. But if the fight drags on and turns into a chess game with constant tempo control, the advantage may gradually pass to Pulyaev. The Russian looks more tactically collected: he knows how to wait out, break the rhythm and force the opponent to make mistakes over a long distance. Pulyaev is able to survive the initial onslaught and take the fight away due to discipline and pace. Ruziboev is certainly more dangerous in the moment, but the stability of the Russian looks a little more convincing over the course of three rounds.
