Anthony Smith needs a big win against Ryan Spann
Smith has not won since defeating Spann in September 2021. The one-time UFC light heavyweight title challenger is 4-4 in his past eight outings. Despite his recent struggles, Smith remains a dangerous fighter with a wealth of experience. He has faced some of the best fighters in the division and has proven himself to be a tough and durable opponent.
Ryan Spann looks to rebound against a familiar foe
Spann is coming off a first-round submission loss to Nikita Krylov in March 2023. Prior to that, he had won two fights in a row, including a knockout victory over Dominick Reyes. Spann is a talented fighter with a well-rounded skill set. He has knockout power in his hands and is also dangerous on the ground.
Anthony Smith vs. Ryan Early Prediction
The first fight between Smith and Spann was a short one, with Smith submitting Spann in the first round. However, Spann has shown that he is a tough and resilient fighter, and he will be looking to avenge his loss in the rematch. Smith will need to use his experience and technical skills to keep Spann at bay and avoid getting caught with a big shot. If he can do that, he should be able to win a decision or possibly even finish Spann late in the fight. However, if Spann can land one of his powerful strikes, he could end the fight at any moment. This is a closely matched fight, and it could go either way.
