Ryan Spann once again showed what he’s capable of when he’s on top of his game with a vicious finish of Ovince Saint Preux at UFC 307.
With his back against the wall on a three-fight losing skid, Spann (22-10 MMA, 8-5 UFC) came out of the gate and hurt Saint Preux (27-18 MMA, 15-13 UFC) early in the opening round of their light heavyweight bout at Delta Center.
As his opponent tried to recover, Spann snatched the neck and forced his way on top with a guillotine choke that forced Saint Preux to frantically tap out just 95 seconds after the fight began.

After the fight, Spann was thrilled in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan and said this is where his run at 205 pounds truly begins.
Meanwhile, Jon Anik noted on the broadcast that Saint Preux fought out of the final bout on his UFC contract, and it could possibly be it in the octagon for the man with the most wins in divisional history.
