He’s got one of the worst chins in the ufc pfp too. He literally can’t take solid shots, the first time Anthony Smith hit him he did the chicken dance. Johnny Walker landed a few elbows and he was sleeping, the list goes on lol. It’s the easiest fight Reyes has had in a long time

I mean he is ranked. I don’t think he’s that great for being a ranked fighter tho; he’s just better than everyone outside the top 15 (although there’s probably some guys out there who could beat him)

Da Un Jung starches Ryan Spann and so do others outside the rankings, and tbh the only reason why he’s even ranked is because Ion is ******* dog **** and has possibly the worst IQ in the LHW division.

I’m just not very impressed by Spann in any areas except his power and guillotine. His also huge so that’s another thing that helps him out. I don’t think he’s bad by any stretch.

 That wasn’t what I was trying to say but he got to where he’s at by KOing Misha Cirkunov which isn’t exactly an amazing win nowadays

Spann's a dangerous fighter but he has the IQ of a potato and Reyes should be better than him everywhere if he didn't spend his time off headbutting a brick wall.

Reyes is on a 3 fight losing streak, But it's too 3 of the last four champions of the division, And Jan fight was the only one that wasn't that close, The Jon Jones one people were crying robbory and the Jiri one was close before the knockout

Spann is mainly fighting the low level fight, Smith is good but all the rest have very **** recent record a few 2-3 in their last 5, but mostly 1-4 or 0-5 in they're last 5, None of which are 3-2, 4-1 or 5-0 in their last 5

The only thing I worry about is Reyes chin after that Prochazka knockout cause that really shortened his career by a couple of years. Other than that, Spann's best win is Cutelaba which isn't going to age well once he loses to Nzechukwu. The only other dude he has beat is Devin Clark, who also looks like he is going to be cut soon. Spann probably loses to unranked dudes like Menifield, Ulberg, Da Un Jung, Nicolae Negumereanu (also on this card), and Tyson Pedro

If Spann has never been knocked out cold, I think Reyes will be the one to do it

@danromanick that’s what I’m saying, I don’t think he’s gonna be able to take damage the same way. Especially that nose, it got destroyed in the Jan and jiri fights.

I think Reyes chin will hold up against dudes like Spann, and he'll be able to stay in the UFC for a little longer. It helps that Anthony Smith thinks he's a good fighter and praises him whenever they have him talk about his road to the championship. Losing to Spann probably will be a deal breaker for the UFC tho since he really isn't considered a "legend"

I'm exited to see Montell fight someone good again, He's been a bit of a can crusher as of late, I don't care he beat Buys, Straider, Colieres and Soukamtamph, They are all bottom of the barrel UFC wins, That meme finish of Kelliher is nice tho, But was like 4 year ago, I want to see if he the prospect people are making him out to be, Beating people he suspose to beat, Mean nothing to me

Also, Montell isn't young, He's 30 years old, If he doesn't have his run now, He never have one most likely as batamweight isn't an old mans game
