Ryan Spann is looking to embark on another winning streak.

Spann returned to the win column with an impressive first-round TKO victory over Misha Cirkunov in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 21 last night.

It was a form of revenge in a way as Cirkunov was in the corner of Johnny Walker who inflicted defeat on Spann when they met in September last year.

“This was a little sweet moment, because (Cirkunov) cornered Johnny (for) my fight with Johnny, so I like to think I got a little one back,” Spann said at the post-fight press conference (via MMA Junkie). “But it is what it is. We’re taking down whatever’s in front of us.”

With five wins in his last six and a likely move up the rankings, Spann is looking to climb the ranks even further.

His ideal next opponent? The winner of the upcoming clash between former title challenger Anthony Smith and prospect Jimmy Crute.

“Honestly, I don’t necessarily know the landscape of the division,” Spann added. “I heard about a fight that’s ahead of me. … Anthony Smith and Jimmy Crute. We’ll probably take a look at the winner of that.”

The winner of that fight will likely enter or be on the fringes of the top five so it’s easy to see why Spann has called his shot.

Winning eight on the trot, the Birmingham native has managed to score notable victories over the likes of former lightweight titleholder, Rafael dos Anjos, Gunnar Nelson, Donald Cerrone, Bryan Barberena, and common-foe, Vicente Luque.

For Chicago native, Muhammad, he makes a short-notice return, matching with Edwards off the back of a unanimous decision shutout victory over Dhiego Lima just last month at UFC 258. The Palestine born contender, who currently sits at #13 in the official welterweight stack — himself taking eight wins in his last nine Octagon outings.

In tonight’s co-main event, tricky grappler, Misha Cirkunov returns as he draws former LFA light heavyweight best, Ryan Spann. Cirkunov enters the matchup off the back of impressive Peruvian neck tie submission win over rising contender, Jimmy Crute, While Spann saw his eight fight winning spree halted by the charismatic, Johnny Walker in September at UFC Vegas 11.

Earlier today (Sat. September 14, 2019) on the main card of UFC Vancouver, a light heavyweight bout took place between Misha Cirkunov and Jimmy Crute.

Cirkunov was coming off a knockout loss to Johnny Walker and had also lost three of his last four bouts. Crute, meanwhile, was 10-0 leading up to the bout and the betting favorite.
