In the co-main event of UFC Singapore, Anthony Smith #8 met with Ryan Spann #10 for the second time. In their first fight Anthony Smith took advantage of the ground game of Ryan Spann and secured a rear naked choke late in the first round. This fight showcased a much improved Spann.

In the first round Anthony Smith came out in a traditional Muay Thai stance. It became apparent that Anthony Smith would be utilizing a game plan with a lot of leg kicks. A little more than halfway through the round and Spann began to open up on his feet until Smith shot a single and took Spann down. With a minute left the two were back on their feet exchanging punches until the round ended.

The second round picked up right where the first left off. Smith shooting for big leg kicks and Spann throwing some big power shots. One of the power shots connected to Smith’s left eye (possibly a left hook) and he was on the matt defending Spann trying to finish it. The second half of the round had Smith and Spann on their feet until the bell. With the damage and knock down, it definitely appeared to be a round for Spann.

The two hugged it out in the beginning of the third round. For the entire third round the two fighters stayed on their feet and slugged it out. Honestly, the third round could have gone either way. However, the judges gave the fight to Smith in a split decision victory. The stats show just how competitive this fight was. 28-29, 29-28, 29-28 ended up being the final scorecard in Anthony Smiths favor.
