Predictions for Spivac vs. Delija

This bout has the potential to conclude in a KO/TKO. Notably, both of Delija’s UFC fights have ended in such fashion. Meanwhile, Spivac has seen six out of his last ten bouts finish by KO/TKO. While Spivac may attempt to utilize grappling—an area where Delija has shown vulnerability—his submission proficiency has been limited, with only three submissions throughout his UFC career. Thus, betting on a KO/TKO finish for this fight appears to be the most favorable option.

Expect a highly competitive clash as both fighters bring unique skills and fighting styles to the octagon.
