LAS VEGAS – Although it didn’t go down quite the way he hoped, Marcin Tybura wasn’t in position to complain about his Saturday win.
Tybura (24-7 MMA, 11-6 UFC) outworked Blagoy Ivanov (19-5 MMA, 3-4 UFC) on the UFC Fight Night 218 main card in Las Vegas. It gave him back-to-back wins after a loss to Alexander Volkov in 2021, and with seven wins in his past eight, he’s proving to be a threat at heavyweight.
“My mindset was to do a little bit more, but a win is a win,” Tybura said at his post-fight news conference. “He’s really tough to start to close distance. He’s a very solid guy and it’s hard to look well against him. I think I was able to outstrike him at least one round and I handled him on the ground.”
