Can you realistically react to spinning kicks in UFC 5?

Hi. I’m struggling to defend spinning kicks (spinning body kick / spinning head kick). My body keeps getting destroyed by them.

Is it actually possible to react and block them on reaction, or do good players mostly predict/read them?

I tried training mode but I still can’t reliably recognize the animation early enough.

How do you guys deal with these kicks?
