Ryan Spann has had several highlights throughout his UFC career, and he added a violent one to the mix with his knockout of Marcus Buchecha at UFC Vegas 116.
Buchecha looked to use his grappling expertise in the first round, looking for a number of takedowns and submissions on Spann. Spann, meanwhile, looked to land with power early and did so. He also managed to fend off an arm-triangle attempt and guillotines while looking to pressure Buechecha.
The two slowed their pace in the second round, but Spann brought a quick end to things with a right hand. That punch dropped Buchecha on his side, not moving for several seconds as the referee stepped in to wave the fight off.
