Marcin Tybura vs Blagoy Ivanov is a heavyweight clash scheduled to take place at UFC Apex in Vegas on Saturday, February 4, as a part of UFC Fight Night 218.
Before Betting on Marcin Tybura vs Blagoy Ivanov
Marcin Tybura (23-7) and Blagoy Ivanov (19-4-1) are two veterans who know how to put on a show. They might not be famous for vintage finishes, but their fights are always fun to watch. It’s because each of them always gives his best inside the octagon.
The evidence of this is that they got only five losses inside the distance between them. The reason why this is so impressive is that both fighters have faced some real legends of the UFC heavyweight division. For instance, Tybura’s only loss inside the distance since joining the UFC in 2016 happened against mighty Derrick Lewis.
Ivanov, on the other hand, is still at zero defeats inside the distance in this promotion, even though he’s fought against such prolific finishers as Tai Tuivasa, Junior dos Santos, and Derrick Lewis. Actually, each of Ivanov’s six UFC fights lasted until the final bell.
This is kind of surprising for a heavyweight fighter, but it’s just that he’s tough as nails. This guy never gives up, both inside and outside of the octagon. Proof of his resilience is that only some 18 months after getting stabbed in the chest in 2012, Ivanov made his MMA comeback (and won).
