The match between Nikita Krylov and Ryan Spann was set for UFC Vegas 70, but it was canceled due to Nikita’s health issues, so the promotion rebooked it for UFC Vegas 71.
The co-main and main events are also fights to enjoy. Grappling expert Alexandr Romanov meets striking specialist Alexander Volkov, and one of the best boxers ever in MMA, Petr Yan, squares off against a very tough wrestler and pressure fighter, Merab Dvalishvili.
