LAS VEGAS – With four wins in his past five fights, [autotag]Serghei Spivac[/autotag] may be ready to take the jump to the next level.
Spivac was up and down to start his UFC career, but then went on a three-fight winning streak. In September 2021, that streak was halted by the surging Tom Aspinall. But in March, Spivac bounced back and gave Greg Hardy his walking papers with a UFC 272 TKO win.
Now Spivac (14-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) thinks he may be ready to take the leap to the next tier of heavyweights if he has an impressive win over Augusto Sakai (15-4-1 MMA, 4-3 UFC) at UFC on ESPN 40, which takes place Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The card airs on ESPN and streams on ESPN+.
Check out Spivac’s full media day interview in the video above.
