Krylov vs Spann Prediction

Both fighters have had similar levels of recent success ahead of UFC Vegas 70. Nikita Krylov has back-to-back victories over Alexander Gustafsson (by KO) and Volkan Oezdemir (by unanimous decision) in his latest outings. Meanwhile, Ryan Spann has also won his last two fights, submitting Ion Cutelaba before knocking out Dominick Reyes.

As for which fighter will extend his winning streak, I'm siding with Krylov. The 30-year-old averages more significant strikes per minute (4.45) with better accuracy (55%) than Spann (3.42 and 44%, respectively). On top of that, Krylov absorbs nearly one less significant strike per minute than Spann (2.50 vs. 3.42).

With Krylov also being better at countering than Spann, it's hard not to side with him winning this weekend.

Winner: Nikita Krylov

Krylov vs Spann Best Bet

Unfortunately, the moneyline is the only betting option at the moment, making a Krylov outright win at -186 odds the best bet for now. Make sure to check back on FanDuel Sportsbook leading up to UFC Vegas 70 for more playable options.
