The first loss of his career inside the octagon had Ryan Spann fired up to return to the win column and he needed just 71 seconds to dispatch Misha Cirkunov in the UFC Vegas 21 co-main event.
The highly touted Contender Series prospect had something to prove after nearly finishing Johnny Walker in his last fight but then suffering a knockout loss of his own. This time under similar circumstances after dropping Cirkunov with a huge straight punch down the middle, Spann let his stand up again to continue dishing out the punishment rather than going to the ground with him.
