Luis Henrique

Luis Henrique Barbosa de Oliveira vs. Ryan Spann

Round 1
Spann reaches over a leg kick to touch Henrique with a long right hand. Henrique tries to grab Spann's hips and gets shoved away, and Spann continues to walk down "KLB" with jabs and reaching punches. Henrique, now sporting a bloody nose, hustles Spann to the ground in the center of the cage. Henrique gets up but soon finds himself in trouble again, as Spann jumps guard with a guillotine choke attempt. Spann loses the choke but powers back to his feet, where Henrique tries to take off his head with a wild right hand. Henrique scores another takedown but can't do anything with the position before the end of the round.

Round 2
Spann puts his jab right in Henrique's face to start round two; Henrique doesn't like it and wants to clinch on the fence instead. Spann reverses to the outside, then separates, but less than two minutes in, Henrique has completed another takedown. Henrique postures up in Spann's wide open guard, dropping punches on the American's face as he jams "Superman" up against the base of the fence. Henrique keeps Spann cornered against the fence, sitting up to thump him with the occasional hammerfist. Spann sits up, trying to stand, but he leaves his neck exposed and Henrique wastes no time snaring him in a guillotine. Spann does well to wall-walk out of the submission, winding up on top, in side control on Henrique's right. Henrique still hasn't let go of the choke, but Spann doesn't seem interested in the Von Flue choke, instead flattening out Henrique and stepping over to full mount. Spann finishes the round strong, slamming Henrique with big elbows from the mount.

Round 3
Henrique gives Spann no space to work in the final frame, immediately shooting a high double-leg against the fence, then lifting and slamming Spann to the ground near the center of the cage. Henrique lands in half-guard on Spann's right, looks for an arm-triangle, but he's on the wrong side to finish it. Spann withstands the early attack and sweeps to top position about two minutes into the round. Henrique winds up on his right side, clinging to Spann's right leg, while "Superman" sits up to drop punches and elbows. Spann flattens out Henrique and moves to side control on the Brazilian's right side, then passes to the left. Henrique is trying to kick off the cage but doesn't seem to have the energy left to escape. Spann gets pushed back to half guard but remains on top as the final minute ticks away, drawing boos from the partisan Brazilian crowd. Spann stands up and delivers a few knees to the body before both men stand up to finish the fight slinging hands.
