Legacy FC 48 results: Leonardo Leite dominates Ryan Spann to defend title

Leonardo Leite Ryan Spann told the AXS TV Fights commentators that he didn’t believe Leonardo Leite did anything particularly well ahead of challenging for the middleweight title at Legacy FC 48. That is an assessment he’ll be revisiting after the champion took a clean sweep on the judges scorecards. The 6’5” Spann (8-2) used his length well in the early stages of Round 1, keeping the fight at distance and picking the spots he wanted to engage. Eventually, he was able to score a knockdown, but Leites (7-0) survived the troublesome spot in the opening frame to dominate the remainder of the bout. Leite’s bona fides on the ground were on display after the early knockdown as he took the fight over whenever he was able to close the distance and score a takedown, which became increasingly frequent as the fight wore on. In Round 3, Spann’s concerns over keeping the fight standing left an opening for a solid left hand from Leite to land clean and buckle his legs
