The heavyweight division gets a massive shakeup this February 8 at UFC Fight Night as the grappling ace Serghei Spivac takes on the powerhouse Ante Delija. Everyone’s tuning in to see if the ground dominance of the Moldovan can hold up against the raw power coming out of Croatia. It is the kind of fight that could easily end in a highlight reel finish or a gruelling fifteen-minute grind. Check out our Serghei Spivac vs Ante Delija match prediction.
Polar Bear enters this contest on the heels of a disappointing 2025 campaign, where he dropped back-to-back fights against Jailton Almeida and Waldo Cortes-Acosta.
His most recent outing in June 2025 saw him struggle to secure meaningful takedowns against the striking volume of Cortes-Acosta, which resulted in a unanimous decision loss. On the other side of the fence, Walking Trouble had a roller coaster introduction to the promotion last year.
He absolutely ran through Marcin Tybura in his September debut, but most recently suffered a chaotic knockout loss to Cortes-Acosta in November 2025 after a controversial eye poke incident. While Walking Trouble is still finding his footing in the octagon, his explosive power and high finishing rate make him a terrifying opponent for anyone.Limited Offer. Currently at Stake

Our Serghei Spivac vs Ante Delija Prediction
It is hard to ignore the explosive impact that the Croatian striker has made since arriving in the promotion. While the Moldovan certainly has the grappling pedigree to win a technical battle, his recent durability and inability to force the wrestling against athletic heavyweights are major red flags.
Delija possesses the kind of fight-ending power that can punish any lazy entry or lapse in defensive positioning. Expect a fast start from the newcomer as he looks to reestablish himself as a title threat. Hence, our Serghei Spivac vs Ante Delija match prediction is Ante Delija to win.
