Marcin Tybura vs Serghei Spivac II Prediction: Marcin Tybura as the underdog gets him the victory

In the octagon on Sunday, the heavyweight division will present a bout between Marcin Tybura and Serghei Spivac II. It is set as the Main Card fight 10 of 10 with 265 lbs (120.2 kg) weight class. All action will take place at UFC Apex, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, and can be watched live on ESPN+. 

Marcin Tybura met his opponent, Serghei Spivac II, in February 2020 and went on to record a five-straight win. In his last match, he beat Tai Tuivasa via submission. Prior to this, Marcin lost to Tom Aspinall via straight right to ground punches knockout to miss out on being the interim heavyweight champion. Between 2021 and 2023, he fought three times and won two of his bouts. He boasts of a professional record of 25 wins and 8 losses.

Serghei Spivac II records 7 wins and 4 losses in the UFC. Since his first matchup against Tybura, he lost to top-flight fighters Ciryl Gane and Tom Aspinall. He is nine years younger than his opponents, which puts him in an advantageous position. He boasts of a professional record of 16 wins and four losses. Serghei won against Derrick Lewis via submission, Augusto Sakai via TKO/KO, and Grey Hardy via Ground and Pound knockout.

Both sides get to have a rematch following their matchup in February 2020. Serghei Spivac II is the fighter who has benefited more since their first meeting and has all the credentials on paper that are above Marcin Tybura. This match won't get settled in the early rounds at all, as it is also not either specialty. The decision in this matchup will be decided by the judges, which will be either by points or a unanimous decision. To pick a side, I will go with Tybura and over 2.5 rounds.
