Ryan Spann and Nikita Krylov were supposed to headline last night’s UFC Fight Night 220 card, but Krylov fell ill and the bout was canceled.
Spann, who would’ve been headlining his second UFC card, has one word for how he feels about the bout being canned.
“Yeah, I got one [word]: f***,” Spann told reporters after the event (transcript via Mike Heck of MMA Fighting). “I was peeing [when I found out]. I had [the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency] with me, my coach comes storming in yelling for me, and it was him, [UFC Chief Business Officer] Hunter [Campbell], and [UFC Matchmaker] Sean [Shelby] that let me know that I wasn’t going to be able to fight.”
Brendan Allen submitted Andre Muniz in the new main event of the show, as that bout was originally the co-main event.
The light heavyweight star did get to speak to Krylov after their bout was canceled, but Spann had no anger towards his one-time opponent.
“I stepped in to see him and I let him know that — and I was doing a lot of cussing and fussing — but I let him know it had nothing to do with him,” Spann explained. “S*** happens, it’s just...f***. I don’t know [where I go from here], I’m still trying to process what’s going on. My coach, that’s what he does best so I’ll leave that up to him.”
