The heavy beginnings of Ryan Spann “are not the final form”

Las Vegas – Ryan Spann knows more than time will be necessary before its complete transformation of heavy goods vehicles is finished, but it is delighted to take the first step on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 254.

After spending all of his promotional mandate at Light Heavyweight, Spann (22-10 MMA, 8-5 UFC) chose to change divisions and climb. He made his debut against Waldo Cortes-Acosta (12-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) at the UFC Apex (ESPN +).

According to Spann, it has extended methodically without losing too much speed or athletics. This process will continue regardless of the result of its entrance to the division.

“This is the new look, but it is not the final form of the new look,” Spann told MMA Junkie and other journalists on Wednesday media day. “We are going to get better from here.

“Honestly, I train near the weight you will all see on Friday. I just spend a lot of time cutting weight, so I couldn’t do a lot of things I should have done to prepare myself. Now we have fun and we are in the gymnasium. “”

During his race at 205 pounds, Spann won notables such as Ovince Saint Preux, Dominick Reyes, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and more. He obtained a 95 -second finish to demand the performance of the honors of the night during his last appearance at the UFC 307 in October.

With the abolition of a weight cut, Spann thinks it will be even freer to fight in a style that suits him best. It remains to be seen how it will work against greater adversaries, but Spann thinks he is entering the right mentality.

“(I just need to have fun,” said Spann. “Trust the process. It’s going to come. I’m just having fun.
