Mario Pinto enters this heavyweight prelim as the clear favorite due to his perfect 12-0 record, strong finishing rate, and recent UFC momentum, including a unanimous decision over Felipe Franco in March 2026 after earlier knockouts. The 28-year-old Portuguese prospect brings elite striking accuracy, solid takedown defense, and physical tools that align with his undefeated streak. Ryan Spann counters with veteran experience at 24-11, a recent two-fight winning streak featuring a second-round knockout of Marcus Buchecha, and well-rounded skills including submissions. Both fighters share identical height and reach, but Spann's broader résumé and recent heavyweight resurgence create realistic upset potential against the less-tested favorite.
