Serghei Spivac

"Polar Bear". That's what they call Serghei Spivac, and is ranked #6 at UFC heavyweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.

The game is built on grappling: 3.8 takedowns per 15 minutes, and opponents spend rounds defending instead of fighting. 8 submission wins say what happens when the defense slips. Add a 78" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.

Most recent outing: a win over Ante Delija via decision - unanimous. Business handled.

Next up: Vitor Petrino at UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues on August 23, 2026. Circle the date.
