LAS VEGAS – Nikita Krylov and Ryan Spann came face-to-face for the first time Friday ahead of the UFC Fight Night 220 main event.
After making weight at official weigh-ins, Krylov (28-9 MMA, 10-7 UFC) and Spann (21-7 MMA, 7-2 UFC) engaged in their lone pre-fight faceoff ahead of Saturday’s light heavyweight headliner, which takes place at the UFC Apex and streams on ESPN+.
Check out the video of the staredown above.
As expected, both men were civil when they got in front of each other. It bordered on friendly, in fact, because while Spann did his signature pose of looking down at his opponent, he started laughing uncontrollably. Krylov was amused, as well, cracking a smile before they moved off stage.
