UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs Spivak is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on February 5 at the popular UFC Apex Arena which will host Korean Park Jun-Yong and Russian Denis Tiuliulin In the welterweight division. The Russian has already had one glorious victory under the banner of the world’s leading organisation. Will he be able to consolidate his success with a second victory? The fight is planned for 04:00 UK time.
The Korean has certainly had a stronger level of opposition, has been in the UFC longer, and is also a well-rounded fighter, unlike Tiuliulin. However, Jun is too cautious, so he neglects to do anything active, which often leads to fatal consequences. The puncher always has a chance to win, so we will assume that Denis can hit hard, thus ending the fight with an early victory.
The 31-year-old Korean middleweight Jun Yong Park made his Dana White league debut back in 2019. The Asian has seven fights to his credit with five wins and two losses. In the past two fights he has managed to get past American Joseph ‘’Ugly Man’’ Holmes (rear-naked choke) and Eryk ‘’Ya Boi’’ Anders (by a split decision). ‘’The Iron Turtle’’ had no easy opponents in the promotion as a whole.
Above all, the Korean is good at standup, relying on his boxing, timing and footwork. But Park’s knockout power is insufficient, and he is often hampered by his poorly developed grappling skills. Admittedly, Jun is a tough opponent for top-ranked juggernauts.
Russian Denis Tyulyulin after his unsuccessful debut managed to surprise in his second fight under the UFC banner. The fighter spectacularly defeated stalwart American Jamie ‘’The Nightwolf’’ Pickett, who he finished by technical knockout in the 2nd round. The 34-year-old now has ten wins and six defeats under his belt.
He is considered an elite puncher and a formidable puncher who is always on the hunt for a knockout. Denis has heavy submissions on both hands but gets lost against strong grapplers, resulting in missed take-downs and fatal mistakes in the parterre.
