Serghei Spivac gave Augusto Sakai very few chances to mount any offense during their heavyweight bout at UFC Vegas 59.
“The Polar Bear” made his game plan immediately clear when he took Sakai down with a trip early in the fight. The 27-year-old was able to largely control Sakai for the rest of the round, although the Brazilian did manage to work to his feet in the last minute to try and land some strikes.
Spivac got right back to work when he took Sakai down again about a minute into the second round. Sakai made several efforts to work to his feet but couldn’t do much to escape Spivac’s relentless top pressure.
The control and ground and pound eventually forced Mark Smith to step in late in the second round.

One way traffic for Spivac in that one. He has improved a ton.Sakai protests the stoppage, but Smith could only let it go on for so long with Spivac continuing to rack up damage.— Aaron Bronsteter (@aaronbronsteter) August 7, 2022

Spivac is quietly becoming a threat in the heavyweight division. Went 1-2 at the start of his UFC run but is 5-1 since then. Only loss in that stretch was against Tom Aspinall.— Nick Baldwin (@NickBaldwinMMA) August 7, 2022

Fantastic performance by Spivac. He deserves to be in the discussion with Aspinall, Romanov, and Pavlovich (and Tuivasa if you include him in that bunch) #TUF30Finale— Alexander K Lee (@AlexanderKLee) August 7, 2022
