Snaps three-fight losing streak
Light HeavyweightUFC
October 5, 2024
Spann defeated Ovince Saint Preux via submission (guillotine choke) at 1:35 of Round 1 at UFC 307 on Saturday in Salt Lake City.
ANALYSIS
These two were scheduled to fight last month before OSP withdrew on fight night due to an illness. They got it on here and Spann left zero doubt who the better man was. Spann got loose early on the feet before Saint Preux left his neck exposed in defense. Ryan immediately clamped on the guillotine choke, eventually dragging OSP to the mat to close the show. Spann entered having lost three in a row and likely would have been handed his walking papers had he come up short against Saint Preux.

Suffers third straight defeat
Light HeavyweightUFC
April 27, 2024
Spann lost to Bogdan Guskov via TKO (punches) at 3:16 of Round 2 at UFC on ESPN 55 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
What a disaster. Entering as upwards of a -200 favorite, Spann dominated Round 1 after securing a takedown and appeared to be inching towards a stoppage on multiple occasions. That all went out the window in Round 2, as did his cardio. That allowed Guskov to get loose on the feet, which combined with Spann's poor conditioning, led to the stoppage about midway through the frame. This is the exact type of fight Spann cannot afford to lose if he wants remain on the very fringes of contention, let alone rostered. Set to turn 33 years of age in late-August, Ryan has dropped three in a row dating back to March 2023.
