Ryan Spann made short work of Ion Cutelaba in the UFC on ESPN 36 headliner, and for that, “Superman” is now $50,000 richer.
Spann weathered multiple takedowns from his opponent before locking in a standing guillotine choke and powering Cutelaba to the canvas with the submission in place. Cutelaba tapped out seconds later, earning Spann a “Performance of the Night” bonus.
Elsewhere, Katlyn Chookagian and Amanda Ribas received “Fight of the Night” honors and $50,000 apiece for a competitive flyweight clash. Ribas kept the pressure on Chookagian throughout the 15-minute affair, but her multiple takedowns were offset by “Blonde Fighter’s” rangy striking.
