Famous Russian light heavyweight Ivan Shtyrkov hope to win Nikita Krylov in five rounds in a fight with an American ryan spann tournament in Las Vegas.
Krylov will fight Spann on February 25 in Las Vegas.
“I always wondered how big guys like Spann fit into the light heavyweight limit. For Spann, height and arm span are a huge advantage. He is very big for a light heavyweight. The second point, due to the size, it has a knockout. Ryan can take his head off his shoulders. But there are nuances in terms of functionality. It expends a lot of gas with every swing and every shot. The first two rounds with such an opponent will be dangerous, because for his size, Spann is quite explosive.
Krylov needs to drag the fight into the later rounds and not get shocked into the early rounds. The key to victory is to move on your feet and never work on a collision course. Work fast and technically, shoot from a distance. I hope Nikita’s staff is more experienced and wiser, and can realize their IQ advantage.
If Spann’s nickname is Superman and he has a tattoo in the form of a comic book hero logo, Krylov can be compared in height to Batman. Here you also have to win with your brain. If we evaluate the confrontation between Superman and Batman, the latter only had a chance to win in his intellect, developments, etc. We need a plan to fight.
If you bet on Nikita to win, he will count the full distance for all five rounds. Our athlete will take the conditions. He needs stamina. Spann is unlikely to change tack and give his best. If the American runs out of gas, he can finish in the fourth round, and if you start from Krylov, the fight will last five rounds, because Nikita will not even force to defeat the opponent. Five rounds and Nikita’s victory. I want it to be like this,” Shtyrkov told MMA.Metaratings.ru.
Krylov, 30, has 29 wins and nine losses. Krylov has been playing in the UFC since 2018, the statistics in this league are 4 wins and 4 losses. Spann, 31, has 21 wins and seven losses. At the UFC, the American has won seven victories (excluding participation in the Contender) for two defeats. Spann’s winning streak is also two wins.
