Last week, we may have witnessed a changing of the guard in the ladies' Flyweight division as Erin Blanchfield disposed of Jessica Andrade with a rear naked choke after bullying her with effective striking prior to the second-round sub. It was an impressive performance by Blanchfield whose effectiveness cost me my position last week, as I had the fight to enter the third round -140.
We tote a 3-2 .75u tally into this week’s UFC LV70 with the return of now heavyweight title contender Jon Jones vs. Ciryl Gane and UFC 285 looming on March 3rd!
Nikita Krylov -165 vs. Ryan Spann 145
Light Heavyweight (205 lbs) main event
Eighth-ranked Spann is massive for this weight class both in physical size and in fighting fury. Standing 6’5” he towers over most opponents. In this bout, he’ll have two inches of height and reach to his favor which translates to a statistical advantage provided Spann can keep this fight on the feet.
