Predictions summary

What happened

The result, the defining moments, and what the verdict means.

Musayev controlled the opening round. Klein found spells of success early in the second.

A sharp combination late in the round dropped Klein flush. Musayev followed him to the floor.

Ground strikes finished the fight at 4:07 of round two.

Pre-fight analysis — how we saw it going in

Case for Klein

Klein is the busier and more accurate striker at 3.76 strikes a minute, and he has beaten the better recent opposition — a majority decision over Mateusz Rębecki in October. His 1.37 takedown average gives him a second gear Musayev has struggled with, having been submitted by Myktybek Orolbai in 2025.

Case for Musayev

Musayev finishes 87% of his wins, the highest rate in the matchup, and he is the more decorated fighter — a Rizin grand prix winner with Bellator experience. He out-pointed Ignacio Bahamondes in March, and eighteen knockouts in twenty-three wins mean Klein has to respect his power from the opening bell.

What We Were Watching For

  • Volume versus power — Klein lands 3.76 a minute, Musayev 1.84 but with an 87% finish rate.
  • Grappling exchanges; Musayev was submitted in round one by Orolbai in June 2025.
  • Klein's footwork against a kickboxer who wants a stationary target.
  • Whether Musayev's Rizin-era power still carries at 36.
