UFC 281 video: Ryan Spann destroys Dominick Reyes with vicious 80-second knockout
NEW YORK – Dominick Reyes’ “massively upgraded defense” did not show itself against Ryan Spann at UFC 281.
Spann (21-7 MMA, 7-2 UFC) needed just 80 seconds to score the biggest win of his career on Saturday, flooring Reyes (12-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) with a vicious finish courtesy of a gigantic overhand right punch in the preliminary-card bout which took place at Madison Square Garden.

With the defeat, Reyes has now lost four consecutive fights dating back to when he went tooth-and-nail with Jon Jones for the 205-pound title in February 2020.
Spann, meanwhile, has now picked up back-to-back wins. He missed weight for the fight, however, and therefore is ineligible to receive a $50,000 bonus.
