Light heavyweights Nikita Krylov and Ryan Spann will each be looking to extend their short winning streak when they face off at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
Fights at the UFC Apex are being streamed on Sportzshala+, with the main card at 7:00 pm ET followed by prelims at 4:00 pm.
Krylov (29-9) has won two fights in a row, most recently by unanimous decision over Volkan Oezdemir in October. Krylov is ranked 9th in Sportzshala’s light heavyweight rankings.
Spann (21-7) knocked out Dominick Reyes in the first round in November, his second win in a row.
Also in the plans is the return of the undefeated flyweight Tatiana Suarez, who, due to an injury, did not compete for 3.5 years. Suarez (8-0) will face Montana De La Rosa.

Betting advice from Ian Parker
From what we’ve seen so far, if Spann doesn’t finish at the start of the fight, he’ll run out of steam and kill himself. He also placed himself in many bad positions in fights, showing his lack of experience against higher level fighters. His opponent will be a real test to determine his place among the best in MMA.
