Krylov's chin rating has fallen to zero after three knockout losses in five fights, and he draws an unbeaten 25-year-old with a perfect finish rate.
Nikita Krylov has been a UFC light heavyweight for the better part of a decade and has twenty-two recorded fights to show for it. The database now rates his chin at 0.0, and the reason is not subtle: Dominick Reyes knocked him out in April 2025, Bogdan Guskov knocked him out in July 2025, and Robert Whittaker knocked him out in the third round in July this year. Three stoppages in five fights, all…
Krylov (31-11) was knocked out by Robert Whittaker in the third round in July, his third stoppage defeat in five fights after Guskov in July 2025 and Reyes in April 2025. His 0.0 chin rating is the model registering exactly that. He knocked out Modestas Bukauskas in January.
Yakhyaev (9-0) is 3-0 in the UFC and has finished all three inside the opening round — two submissions and an eight-second knockout of Julius Walker in June. His 81.1 composite is the highest on this card, built on opponents rated 23.9, 37.2 and 3.4.
Three knockout losses in Krylov's last five fights and a chin rating of 0.0
Yakhyaev's 10.0 pressure rating — the maximum the model awards
All three of Yakhyaev's UFC wins came in round one, totalling under four minutes
Krylov's 4.17 submission score is his only genuine equaliser
Yakhyaev's opponents rated 23.9, 37.2 and 3.4 — this is a step up of an unknown size
Yakhyaev has never been past the first round, so his cardio and his composure are both unmeasured
Krylov has twenty-two fights of experience and a real submission threat; a young pressure fighter diving in can be caught
