The breakdown
Zaynukov is an undefeated 31-year-old striker from the Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov School with elite output (15.67 sig. strikes/min) and precision (61% accuracy). He's landed 5 KOs in 8 fights but has gone to decision in his last three outings, suggesting opponents are adjusting or he's facing stiffer competition. Rzepecki is also undefeated at 10-0 with a more balanced skill set: 4 KOs and 5 submissions show grappling depth that Zaynukov lacks entirely (0 sub attempts in UFC record). Rzepecki's recent form includes a decision win and three finishes in his last four, demonstrating adaptability. The critical gap: Zaynukov has no submission defense data and zero grappling output; Rzepecki has proven submission chops and can threaten the clinch and mat. Zaynukov's striking volume and accuracy are superior, but Rzepecki's submission threat and wrestling baseline present a real path to victory.

About these numbers
Market probability is the live crowd consensus from Polymarket, a public prediction market where people trade on outcomes — we read it as a data signal for what the crowd expects, and it updates continuously. AI probabilityis our own model’s independent read of the matchup from fighter data alone; it never sees the market price, which is why the two can disagree.
All of it is published for analysis and entertainment. Nothing here is betting advice, a recommendation, or a prediction of a guaranteed result — fights are volatile and upsets are the sport.
