Spann vs Guskov Prediction 28 April 2024

The main event of UFC on ESPN 55, which will take place on April 28 in Las Vegas, will be a light heavyweight bout between Ryan Spann and Bogdan Gus'kov, for which we are happy to provide our prediction. The Uzbek fighter has only had 2 fights in the league, and the American has not been pleasing with results lately. So, the motivation and level of opponents should be off the charts, and we will try to determine who will leave the octagon as the winner.

It's hard to call Ryan Spann a wrestler, but the status of a tough grappler is something the 32-year-old American nicknamed "Superman" cannot shake off. With a professional MMA record of 21-9, Ryan has finished opponents with submissions 12 times. Clearly, Spann should not be at a disadvantage on the ground against Gus'kov, but the stand-up game is a big question.

The 31-year-old Uzbek Bogdan Gus'kov, nicknamed "Czarevitch," has been fighting professionally since 2015. The fighter has a record of 15 wins and 3 losses (1-1 in UFC). Unlike the American, Bogdan is not yet in the top-15 of the promotion in the light heavyweight division. After all, Gus'kov claimed his first victory in the league in his last fight, having debuted in the organization with a loss. However, Spann and other UFC fighters might envy Gus'kov's knockout power. Gus'kov has 14 early victories, with 12 of them by KO/TKO.
