Improves to 5-1 in past six bouts
Spivac defeated Augusto Sakai via TKO (punches) at 3:42 of Round 2 at UFC on ESPN 40 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Full marks to Spivac for recognizing an area in which he had a massive advantage over his opponent and exploiting it. Spivac fired off eight takedown attempts in the fight, landing a half dozen of them. That turned into 6:37 worth of control time and allowed Spivac to land 86 total strikes, almost all of which came from a dominant position. Referee Mark Smith was really close to stopping the bout in multiple occasions and finally pulled the plug in the latter stages of Round 2. Spivac continues to be an underrated member of the heavyweight division, picking up wins in five of his past six bouts. It's important to note those five victories came against Sakai, Greg Hardy, Aleksei Oleinik, Jared Vanderaa, and Carlos Felipe, while the loss came against the best opponent Spivac has faced to date in Tom Aspinall, so it would be nice to see the 27-year-old Moldovan secure a win against quality competition.
