Main Card

Ryan Spann

Ryan Spann, whose nickname is “Superman”, with his impressive 21 wins, 9 losses, and 0 draws will be fighting with us. He has a fight time daily which shows that he has successfully separated the long ones from easy and others that test his endurance and tactical skills. Spann has 6′ 5″ size, moreover, through a reach of 79-inches, a standing which can be put to good use during both his striking and defending; he used it to his advantage. He hits with 3.42 signs of significance in each minute, with a striking accuracy of 40%, so we can say that he is skillful in boxing fighting.

On the other hand, Spann’s grappling statistics reflect a contrasting story. Initially, it seems that he has 45 and 20 percent in takedown attempts and takedown accuracy, respectively. Besides, his relative takedown defense is 47%. On this occasion, however, his last fight with Smith, was a blow as he lost it. In terms of defensive game, it was especially evident that he needed to get better. Spann might swing the match in his favor if he bounces back from the defeat in the right way and makes use of the attributes that he is gifted with rather than some others.

Bogdan Guskov

Bogdan ‘Czarevitch’ Guskov, the shorter one among the boxers of 6’3″, can refer to the miss match in the reach with 76 inches. But he still sits confident having a solid record of 15-3-0, with average fight time only 3.8 min, indicating his inclination for quicker, more aggressive stipulations. Guskov is hit with quite a high number of strikes on average (5.81 per minute), a statistic which he will have to address in the fight against Spann, a proven striker.

The number of takedowns that Guskov made in his UFC career which has no single one of them being successful could suggest that Guskov is more comfortable standing up. His takedown defense of takedown is fortunate as it has a rate of 66 %, though he does not have enough of grappling’s offensive strategies for strategic purposes. His last victory against Pauga indicated his capacity to excel in striking and he would be required to go beyond annihilation and use a flexible approach to beat Spann on physical frameworks and experience.
