UFC Paris: Mario Pinto vs. Ryan Spann: Prediction
My prediction is a decision win for Pinto over Spann because he’s the more technical and measured fighter. Spann relies more on his power and athleticism to put his opponents out, plus he thrives in chaotic exchanges.
Pinto needs to force a lot of clinch battles with Spann, especially early into the fight. This will allow him to nullify the threat of his punching power and drain a significant amount of energy out of Spann.
Since moving up to the heavyweight division, Spann seems to have lost a chunk of his cardio due to the added weight. This should be the focal point of Pinto’s fight plan and should be the one controlling the pace of the match.
