Spivac with a sweet armbar from guard after a miscalculation on a back take. Didn’t think Sergey had that in his arsenal. Not sure Tybura did either after he got a bit lackadaisical from top and Spivac executed a clean attack. Wow!

Whenever someone can hit me with a plot twist in MMA, I have to give props. With the way #UFCVegas95 was going, I was expecting 25 minutes.
Nope... Serghei got it done inside two. The Polar Bear. https://t.co/VqbJGiLCR5— Nolan King (@mma_kings) August 11, 2024
