Tatiana Suarez, Nikita Krylov, UFC Fight Night: Krylov vs. Spann predictions

With three days until the UFC Fight Night: Krylov vs. Spann card kicks off, Matt and Jim are joined by two fighters from Saturday’s fight card in women’s flyweight Tatiana Suarez and light heavyweight headliner Nikita Krylov.

Tatiana talks about how maintaining an optimistic mindset throughout her string of serious injuries over the past four years has kept her in great spirits as she seeks to end her 1,358-day layoff with a victory over Montana De La Rosa in a fight contested at a 125-pound weight limit instead of her usual 115-pound strawweight limit.

With some help here and there from his translator, Nikita Krylov assesses the state of the light heavyweight division he competes in and previews his upcoming fight against Ryan Spann in the Ukrainian light heavyweight’s first-ever main event as a UFC fighter.

Finally, Jim and Matt weigh in on the matchups on Saturday’s fight card with some predictions for the main event and a few other bouts.
