UFC Fight Night 220: Krylov vs. Spann is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on February 25 at the popular UFC Apex Arena. The preliminary card of the event will host lightweights, American Joe Solecki and American Carl Deaton. The oddsmakers have constructed a line where they see Joe as the clear favourite in this bout. But will he have a leisurely walk in the octagon? The fight is planned for 23:00 UK time.
Obviously, Joe Solecki’s level is much higher, as he has managed to go through a number of tough opponents. He’s likely to be the one to work the number one, initiating stand-up exchanges as well as taking take-downs. However, the fighter’s finishing qualities are clearly lacking, so we think Deaton will be able to last until the third round.
American fighter Joe Solecki is 29 years old with a record in the professionals (12-3-0). Joe is fighting under the UFC banner since 2019, he already has four successful appearances under his belt. His only loss was to American Jared ‘’Flash’’ Gordon by a split decision verdict from the judges.
Of the big names, he defeated American Jim ‘’A-10’’ Miller in April 2021. The lad made his way into the main promotion via Dana White’s challenger series, where he defeated American James ‘’Jesse’’ Wallace by technical submission (guillotine choke) in the first round.
Joe has good parterre skills, thanks to which he has finished the lion’s share of opponents with a submission. The fighter is working hard on his striking technique, but he’s not yet done without gross errors.
American Carl Deaton is 33 years old with a record of 17-5-0 as a fighter. He’s a recent entrant to the best league in the world and will be making his debut appearance. Previously ‘’Anishinaabe’’ has fought for a number of little-known promotions like Driller Promotions, KOTC, HFC, 864 Fighting Championship and PFL. The level of opposition was very low, even the most recent opponents had plenty of losses on their record.
The emphasis in his fights is also more on jiu-jitsu. Nine of his 17 opponents were knocked out, three of them. He himself lost early only two times.
