Verbal Sparring MMA picks Ryan Spann
“that's why I feel like this is a perfect chance for Ryan Spann to debut into a new weight class up at heavyweight because unlike Waldo Cortes-Acosta Ryan Spann hardly ever sees the judge's scorecards has 32 professional fights overall 26 of them have not gone the distance he's finished 19 out of 22 victories been finished in seven out of 10 losses he is well is just 33 years old right in his prime and even though he's been a light heavyweight he will be the bigger man in this fight maybe not in terms of width but he's going to be 6'5 and the longer rangier fighter and the more dangerous fighter in terms of finishing capabilities and I think he can really catapult his way quickly up the heavyweight ranks but it all starts with a victory over Waldo Cortez a Costa”
