Serghei Spivac got his revenge over Marcin Tybura in Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 61 main event.
After suffering a unanimous decision loss in their first meeting in February 2020, Spivac (17-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) showed his growth and improvements when he achieved a first-round armbar submission victory over Tybura (25-9 MMA, 12-8 UFC) in the heavyweight rematch at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Spivac is now 4-1 in his past five fights over the the past two years, and has aligned himself for another notable opportunity in the weight class.

heavyweight is so bad that armbars from guard are making a comeback

Spivac with a sweet armbar from guard after a miscalculation on a back take. Didn’t think Sergey had that in his arsenal. Not sure Tybura did either after he got a bit lackadaisical from top and Spivac executed a clean attack. Wow!

Whenever someone can hit me with a plot twist in MMA, I have to give props. With the way #UFCVegas95 was going, I was expecting 25 minutes.
Nope… Serghei got it done inside two. The Polar Bear. https://t.co/VqbJGiLCR5
