Ryan Spann once again showed what he’s capable of when he’s on top of his game with a vicious finish of Ovince Saint Preux at UFC 307 . With his back against the wall on a three-fight losing skid, Spann (22-10 MMA, 8-5 UFC) came out of the gate and hurt Saint Preux (27-18 MMA, 15-13 UFC) early in the opening round of their light heavyweight bout at Delta Center. As his opponent tried to recover, Spann snatched the neck and forced his way on top with a guillotine choke that forced Saint Preux to frantically tap out just 95 seconds after the fight began.

Even at 40, Ovince Saint Preux to ‘continue to make everybody mad’ like he did at UFC Fight Night 239

BAD MMA News — Sun, 17 Mar 2024 23:47:42 +0000

LAS VEGAS – Ovince Saint Preux is one of the most senior (both in age and experience) fighters on the UFC roster, but Saturday proved he still has more left in the tank. On the UFC Fight Night 239 main card, Saint Preux (27-17 MMA, 14-12 UFC ) thrilled with a three-round slugfest against Kennedy Nzechukwu (12-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC ), whom he defeated by split decision. The fight as a whole, but particularly the third round, saw the two men stand in the pocket and go blow-for-blow. Saint Preux’s boxing and aggression proved to be the difference, as two of the three judges sided with him. “Man, to be honest again, I knew he don’t have that one (punch) knockout power,” Saint Preux told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference
