Putting Tai to sleep aged really well for Sergei
Seee
Imagine if Lewis beats Spivac. Then we have: Spivac beats Tai, Tai beats Derrick, Derrick beats Spivac.
@@TheChosenMoose01 That's normal in mma bruh. Andrade beat Rose, Weili beat Andrade, Rose beat Weili.
@@travelingtheworld8224 She also beat Carla, who beat Rose twice, who beat Zhang twice.
@@TheChosenMoose01 Yes, now you know MMA Math doesnt work. Many other of the same scenarios have played out throughout the history of the sport. 🙏🤙
Hardy was twice his size and he still ragdolled him. Crazy skills, by far the best ground game in heavyweight.
Blaydes has better wrestling and Aspinalls jiu jitsu is unmatched at heavyweight
Jon Jones ground game better
Romanov would like to have a word
@@PapaPercules Jones hasn't fought since Reyes, and he didn't look great then either. We'll have to see how he does when he comes back.
@@PapaPercules Romanov's grappling is sick, but he DRASTICALLY gasses out after the first 7-8 minutes. Spivac has proven he can keep up the pace and intensity of his grappling throughout the fight. Advantage goes to Spivac.
Best heavyweight judo work I've ever seen. Hip throws and foot sweeps off the charts
Derrick better knock Spivac out early.. the way he can control these guys who are bigger than him on the ground with ease is scary.. but I'm curious how Derrick will do on the ground
He's being sacrificed by the UFC
He’ll probably use the “just get up” technique
No, Derrick coming for payckecks these days. Sergei easy money.
@@TroubleOnTheWaters Nike-jitsu “just get up”
@@TroubleOnTheWaters It might work early on, but if he can't get Spivak out of there Lewis will gas and Spivak will put it on him.
From Moldova 🇲🇩 with love
Respect to Derrick Lewis for taking all these tough fights...
Honestly hats off to him fr fighting straight killers
I'm no fan of Lewis, but I appreciate his activity. He'll fight anyone and up to three times a year if need be. Its a remarkable change compared to the rank squatters at the top of almost every division who stall the division by refusing to fight down and cherry-pick their opponents.
@@madgavin7568 why you not a fan ? just curious
@@fiselled Because I don't think he's a particularly good fighter. Derrick is a beneficiary of the fact Heavyweight is a shallow division and the fact that one punch can end a fight. In any other division, Derrick wouldn't contend for a title let alone twice. This is compounded by the fact that whenever Derrick faces elite level competition, 90% of the time he crumbles and the 10% he doesn't, he's bailed out by his KO power. I'm also no fan of the fact that nowadays, he constantly folds under pressure and is becoming more and more like Bob Sapp; turning up for a pay-check. He either looks for the early knockout or he's outta there.
@@madgavin7568 yes, fighters like Derrick are such a blessing, especially when you look at some other certain high-ranked fighters who hardly fight once a year...
Really rooting for Spivac. Extremely young for the division, but very strong and with a solid ground game. I can see him being a serious contender in the next few years if he keeps improving.
He's a contender now that's for sure
Spivac has technique like khabib. Dragging people down to the mat. Exhausting them and killing it
Wow, his ground and pound is literally like pistons, even the sound,he obviously delivers a lot of power judging by the cuts and covering up.
Great fighter
I'd love to fight him.
He's like the heavyweight khabib
Heqvy kabob
My thoughts exactly 😉
Spivak is the new breed. He's scary af.
Coach - "Sergei hook the leg! Hook the leg! Hook the leg! Hook the leg! Hook the leg!" Sergei - "Shut up you don't know what you're talking about. I must to keep punching!"
I think if Sergei hooked the leg it would have given him greater control.
@@madgavin7568 I agree. He didn't seem to agree with his coach.
That Vanderaa finish was fucking horrifying
Early stoppage
@@RicardoSifuentes22 bruh there was an entire splatter of blood on the floor 💀
Should have been stopped sooner
I've always liked Derek Lewis but I like to see some new blood in the heavyweight picture so for that reason I'm pulling for Sergey Spivak
I been saying Sergei is a serious threat at HW. He beat Tai, hardy, Sakai, and Vanderra all by hip throw and smashing. Plus the arm triangle. I got him beating Lewis. Derrick comes for a paycheck now.
I mean Derrick doesn't have the heart he used to anymore as he'll wilt and quit under pressure but he's still not to be underestimated. He has that punchers chance and he will look to connect it early which he can do against anyone. The key is to not allow Derrick into the fight from the start, if you do that he'll get frustrated and eventually want to go home.
💯
@@madgavin7568 I expect a quick takedown from Sergei to take the punches away from Lewis. Provided he can make a clean entrance I don't think Lewis can compete on the ground with him.
Well this didnt age how I wanted it too. 🤔🤦♂️ Idk what was wrong with Lewis but i hope he's healthy. Maybe his blood pressure shot up high before the fight out of nerves. He had alot of pressure on him to get a W. Win or Lose i dont see Derrick getting cut EVER!!!
This guy is really strong and has big potential. With a proper coach, he could definitely go far 💪
may be the future UFC champ!! ))))
Brutal ground and pound. Don’t let this guy take you down. Don’t let him pass to mount.
This just shows how good Tom Aspinall is, Spivac offered nothing for him
This dude figured it out... A heavyweight that knows judo is amazing. So much harder to get the person off when they're that heavy so you judo flip them down and then just ground and pound
its sambo
@@martinsedefchev7013 Sambo incorporates Judo kid
Not gonna work on Ngannu or any Black heavyweight
Not any I mean Jones and Gane
@@spiritualknight704 He literally Judo tossed Derrick “Black Beast” Lewis and finished him, cope
Future champ, i believe.
I can't believe Dan hardy is so tanned
Derrick is in trouble 😂
Amazing shergei👍👍👍👍👍👍
If Derek Lewis doesn't knock him out early or keep it standing at least this dude is going to maul him Spivak is so underrated like scary underrated
Spivac**
@@too_sturdy it's actually Spivak in Moldova
@@mangincmaki92 The UFC spells it Spivac. Thanks tho
@@too_sturdy”Sergey Spivak is a Moldovan mixed martial” Straight from the ufc webpage
Serghei ended Hardy's UFC career. Everyone liked that
People are sleeping on spivac - deffo the khabib of heavyweight rn. All imma say is that if Derrick doesn’t ko him within 2rds, spivac will show everyone just how good he is
Lewis vs Rozenstruik would have been a better match up.
It would of been fairer but im happy hes fighting spivak instead cause spivak can finally make a name for himself
He’s got a fantastic M hairline. This dude is going places
Spivak is scary as shit he was tossing lewis around tonight, i’ve never seen that before. after winning by sub in the first 3 mins he called out john jones.
I think Spivac decisions or submits Lewis. He'll beat everyone but guys with on par grappling, like Blaydes, easily. If a striker were to get it done against him, they'd have to have the movement and technical prowess of Gane. Will be an exciting fight. Even given what I said, Lewis can absolutely catch and KO any man.
Lewis coming for a paycheck nowadays bro.🤦♂️
I think Spivac struggles with Ngannou, who is way too big and strong to be tossed around like the other Heavyweights. Plus his wrestling is only getting better all the time.
@@madgavin7568 I agree, mate. I should have specified that! :) Ngannou, Blaydes, Gane are the big 3 I can see him struggling having trouble with.
@@madgavin7568 But if he can improve his technique and standup he has a chance, he has shown his cardio is not really a question and can stand up okay enough. Excited to see the division have a new contender.
Sergey Pavlovich says hello. Greco-Roman wrestling, great striking and a good engine.
Serghei Spivca Will Be The Future UFC Heavyweight Champion 🏆 Of The World 🌎.
As a wrestler the inside leg turk at 2:15 is such a dominant position. Your opponent can't build any base and is flattened out. You also have the option of throwing in hooks if needed.
Lewis is gonna have to catch him clean before he gets taken down. If he gets taken down, I think this will not be a long fight.
I’m scared for Lewis……love him but he needs win and this isn’t a easy night at the office.
Lol I like Derrick Lewis too but Sergei and going to dominate and ragdoll him lol sorry to tell you 🤷♂😂
@@skylersimpson4692 Nah
@@skylersimpson4692 lewis just needs to keep it standing and land the one shot
@ian trofimov but he’s hilarious and entertaining so shut up
You should be scared. Derrick heart isnt there. Its just another paycheck. But you make double if you win. 🤔
Spivac and pavlovich are two heavyweight prospects now
When is Jared Vanderaa going to be released by the UFC? Dude is on every heavyweights highlight reel. 1-6 in the UFC. Save that dude some brain cells.
That's how bad HW is outside the top 10 lol
I was wondering when someone would mention that, he's one of the worst Heavyweights on the roster. He gave an ancient Aleksei Oleynik his only path to victory by choosing to grapple with Oleynik and got submitted by him. He stood with Chase Sherman (who has decent boxing offence but sucks everywhere else) the whole fight and got knocked out in the final round, saving Sherman's UFC career in the process. Weaponized low fight IQ. Plus I can't stand seeing him with his black nail polish, its disgusting.
@@madgavin7568 lmao so true, I forgot about his fingernails, usually anytime he fights i find something to do while he gets ko’d
@@Shootermcgavin56 Black nail polish confirmed worst base for MMA lol
💪🏻🔥
Great check from the the when tuivasa was out
Spivac is making Moldova proud!
Giant version of Khabib, the way he fights.
The black beast better have his takedown defense on 10 😳
He makes it look so easy
bon courage Ciryl Gane ! on est avec toi !
I don't really see how spivac can win. People saying "Lewis has to ko him in the first minute" this is the ko king who has some of the latest kos in history.
Seriously? Lewis is getting his face smashed in
i wonder if gane asked for spivac to challenge himself knowing full well his weakness is grappling and wrestling after what happened against bones
Most technical heavy weight I’ve seen in a while. Maybe since Frank Mir
So according to u Tom Aspinall , Cyril gane , Curtis Blaydes, Jon Jones etc are just jokes 🤦♂️
@@prateekupadhya4875 hey man there’s a lot of aspects to the game. Never said that. Just saying this guy is one of the most technical big man especially at a young age…
@@MillerTheOfficialLoFi hmm ya. That is correct but he still has to improve a lot
@@prateekupadhya4875 Jon jones never fought at HW before, so until his fight with Gane, we cannot consider him a HW great.
@@brehbreh1067 Jon Jones used to spar a lot with heavyWeights during his stint in the Light heavyweight including with people like Alistair overeem. U will acknowledge he is goat only after he mails Cyril gane i think
Monsters
As a Romanian I root for Serghei Spivac for obvious reasons!
Derick is in trouble¡
Hoop the leg !!!
"SERGEY! HAMMER HAMMER....YESSSS!"
No your Minecraft isn't open on your computer it's just UFC and their amazing ambience.
spivac is one of the most terrifying fighters I've seen. he can straight up kill these guys the way he beats them. His ground and pound is scary cuz you can tell they know its coming but too much control, its like he makes them witness their life being taken as it happens.
The streets built them this way 🇲🇩
Would love to see this guy fight JJ..
If spivac wins I would be curious to see how he does against blaydes
Grapplers are comming in every division🤼♂️🤼♂️🤼♂️
역시 박씨 👍
Spivac vs Romanov would be a good scrap
Talk about understanding how to win. Guy doesn’t change anything up no matter who it is. He knows he will overwhelm and overpower them to the ground and then eventually get a TKO. Not super flashy but it works
Skeptical about Jon Jones prospects at Heavyweight. I'm just thinking about how guys like Spivac, Romanov, Blades, Pavlovich would literally ragdoll him if they get ahold of him.
Hence why uncle Dana's gifting him a title shot for his first fight at heavyweight
I don't have confidence in Jones at Heavyweight now, given how he looked against his last two opponents (Santos and Reyes) who fell off a cliff after they fought him which says to me that Jones has fallen off and is washed. His party lifestyle finally caught up to him and he's no longer that man who could conceivably beat everyone in the UFC at 205 or HW.
Baddest man in the sport
Blaydes vs Spivac would be a great fight.
Crutis bladzz
Sir gay sivici
Blaydes smokes him
I don't know.......I like Lewis, but not sure he will be able to defend against this dude's wrestling skills......its a HUGE fight for both of them.......for Lewis to remain relevant and for Spivac to take the next step up.....should be good!
Once Sergei mounts you it’s over with
Nice to see somebody use Judo so effectively
Sakai should be saying Thanks to the Ref, not arguing with him.
The man is only 27 years old, and he has already gained such experience. will only get better and be a threat to the entire heavyweight division until he meets Ngannou lol
Derrick gonna lose
Valentine day advert
How does he make everyone bleed damn
Spivac with two or three years of sambo everyday and a little bit of muay thai would be unstoppable.
OMG
Reminds me of a young Fedor.
Alguien.mas está mirando esto hoy viernes 1 alas 11.32 jajaja antes de la pelea 😅
Hardy stoppage was a little early imo... could have seen Greg take a few more shots
Bah wesh il a un sacré ground & pound le Spivac la, faut que Gane travail vraiment la dessus, force a lui
This guy looks like he's his own cousin.
Агрессивный граунд-энд-паунд и хорошие сабмишны! ))))
Spivac is the most talented Heavyweight that nobody cares about.
He's seriously good, why can't Derrick just have an easy fight?
Daukaus is was his easy fight WTF 🤦♂️
No such thing as an easy fight
@@cardiocain2122 Daukaus was on the rise and we're pretty much hyped before his fight with Derrick. The 2 Sergheiy's on his last 2 are low ranking dudes but a hidden monsters. Sometimes someone from the top must risk it. Sometimes they don't care about rankings. Look at Luque, Lewis, Burns and Yan. Even Tai was not even a top 10 when he fought Lewis.
Indonesia I love Kabib
Dam he dominated Tuivasa
Серёга красавчик, очень опасный парень. Вполне за титул может выступить.
Spivac vs jones 🔥
Tua fed him a heavy elbow while getting pounded. Mad respect for the lad
Tua throwing that elbow is what allowed Spivak to lock in the choke but yeah, respect to him 😂
SMESH
Serghei the Khabib of heavyweight division, just mulling everyone 😅
Ohoh not looking good for Derrick Lewis.
He gets to the same position every time and either chokes them out or gets a ground and pound tko and no one can stop it
He will win Gena with wrestling.
Polar bear gonna ragdoll Lewis and submit him. Lewis will be fighting Chase Sherman and Vanderaa soon
Hello
Never knew Tuivasia lost to him
Derrick Lewis is going to get dominates by this beast 😂
That was incredibly violent, this dude puts on a good fuckin fight..
Lewis you have to stand n bang
🐺💵My picks Spivac
but Derrick got that one punch power though!
If Lewis don't not ko very fast spivac going to win in the ground for 5 round for sure
