LAS VEGAS – Nikita Krylov’s return to the cage will be more than just another fight in his lengthy career.
The veteran UFC light heavyweight competes this Saturday against Ryan Spann at UFC Fight Night 220, which takes place at the UFC Apex and streams on ESPN+. This 205-pound matchup serves as the main event of the card, something Krylov (29-9 MMA, 10-7 UFC) is very excited and proud about being his first headlining role in the company.
“It’s a big deal for me,” Krylov told reporters at the UFC Fight Night 220 media day on Wednesday. “It’s the first main event for me. I feel myself great. I’ve had a great camp, good acclimatization, and now I just wait for Saturday.”
