Serghei Spivac

Serghei Spivac, fighting out of an orthodox stance at 6'3" and 260 lbs., carries an 18-6-0 professional record with a mixed 4-4 stretch in his last eight UFC outings. The Moldovan heavyweight operates as a well-rounded grappler, averaging 3.82 takedowns per 15 minutes at 59% accuracy while defending takedowns at a 63% clip, though his striking remains modest at 3.57 landed strikes per minute with 47% accuracy.

Spivac absorbs significant volume defensively, eating 4.23 strikes per minute while maintaining 52% strike defense, and poses a submission threat averaging 0.5 per 15 minutes. His recent record reflects inconsistency at the elite level: losses to Tom Aspinall (KO, Round 1, September 2021), Ciryl Gane (KO, Round 2, September 2023), and most recently Waldo Cortes Acosta (unanimous decision, June 2025), offset by wins over Greg Hardy (KO, Round 1, March 2022) and Aleksei Oleinik (unanimous decision, June 2021).

The submission victory over Tai Tuivasa in October 2019 showcased his grappling prowess, though he has struggled to maintain consistency against top-tier competition. Spivac remains a capable heavyweight with legitimate wrestling credentials but must string together wins to climb back toward contention in an increasingly competitive division.
