Welcome to F4WOnline.com's live coverage of UFC On ESPN+ 78: Krylov vs. Spann, emanating from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The UFC ends a busy month of February back at the UFC Apex for the last time until at least April, this time with a battle of light heavyweights looking to move into title contention headlining.
Light heavyweights Nikita Krylov and Ryan Spann square off in the five-round main event as both will be looking to extend two-fight win streaks. Krylov is coming off back-to-back wins over Alexander Gustafsson and Volkan Oezdemir, while Spann has picked up a pair of wins over Ion Cutelaba and Dominick Reyes. The winner of this fight could find themselves in a title eliminator bout type fight in their next outing.
Also on the main card is a middleweight battle as Andre Muniz looks to continue his impressive run against Brendan Allen, heavyweights Augusto Sakai and Don'Tale Mayes square off, and former TUF winner Tatiana Suarez returns after nearly four years out of action as she moves to the women's flyweight division, where she'll take on Montana De La Rosa.
