Mário Pinto VS Ryan Spann

Mário Pinto defeated Ryan Spann by TKO (punches) at 4:03 of round two in a heavyweight bout at UFC Fight Night: Hooker vs. Parnasse in Paris on September 5, 2026. Pinto was wobbled by Spann in early first-round exchanges but recovered to control the closing stretch of the opening frame, shifting momentum decisively in his favour. He carried that aggression into round two and stopped Spann with punches on the ground to remain undefeated at 13-0 overall and improve to 4-0 inside the Octagon. The finish was a more emphatic statement than Pinto's previous UFC outing — a decision win in London earlier in 2026 — and underlined his development as a heavyweight prospect.

Undefeated heavyweight Mário Pinto puts his top-15 ranking on the line against former light heavyweight contender Ryan Spann, who has stormed back with back-to-back stoppages at heavyweight, including finishes of Lukasz Brzeski and Marcus Buchecha. Pinto's pristine record and technical precision clash directly with Spann's proven finishing instinct and veteran explosiveness in a crossroads bout with real divisional implications.
