Spivac opened the first heavyweight contest of the year by knocking out Almeida, which set off a series of positional changes between the grapplers, where each had moments of control. But it was on the feet that Almeida took control, hurting Spivac with a big uppercut before dropping him to the canvas, flattening him and hammering home the finish.
After opening his 2024 campaign with a defeat, “Malhadinho” has now earned back-to-back stoppage victories to further cement his position as a top 10 talent in the heavyweight division. Now 8-1 inside the Octagon, the Dana White’s Contender Series graduate has his sights set on earning a championship opportunity this year.
