Marcin Tybura (25-8-0) has performed well since winning this matchup in 2020, saluting in seven heavyweight bouts and losing only to current interim champion Tom Aspinall and long-term contender Alexander Volkov. The 38-year-old is unlikely to earn a title shot at this stage of his career, but this bout offers the opportunity to demonstrate his skills and longevity as a main event attraction.
The Poland-born fighter sets a solid pace for a big man and has multiple paths to victory. Tybura boasts nine wins via knockout, seven by submission, and nine via points and will be keen to show fans that his decision win in the first fight was no fluke.
Serghei Spivac (16-3-0) has also enjoyed a solid run since clashing with this opponent. The 29-year-old has fought eight times, recording six wins and two losses. The defeats were inflicted by Aspinall and Ciryl Gane — elite heavyweight talent.
Spivac is a heavy wrestler who likes to dominate his opponents in the clinch and on the mat. The Moldovan’s pace and pressure can break opponents, and if he can impose that strategy here, Spivac might be the stronger and fresher athlete after the hectic opening exchanges.
Tybura vs Spivac betting predictions
This shapes as a competitive bout. Online bookmakers have installed Spivac as a slight favourite, based largely on his youth. Tybura might be slowing in his output, but he still packs a solid punch and knows his way around the cage.
Spivac was expected to prevail the first time these fighters met and now gets his chance for atonement. If he can take this bout to the mat, the favourite will likely drain Tybura’s gas tank and force the referee to intervene when the ground strikes accumulate.
