Mario Pinto stayed unbeaten at UFC Paris, stopping Ryan Spann by TKO at 0:55 of Round 2. The heavyweight result gave Pinto the kind of finish he was looking for after he framed the Spann matchup as a test of his development.
Spann hurt Pinto in the opening exchanges, but Pinto settled the fight with takedowns and top pressure. The unbeaten Portuguese heavyweight carried that control into the second round, forced Spann back down, and finished with ground strikes.
