SALT LAKE CITY – Ryan Spann said he intended to stay away from the guillotine choke at UFC 307 . But when the opportunity presented itself, he couldn’t help but indulge. “I was trying to stay away from it because we both have a move that we’re good at,” Spann told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference Saturday. “His move is supposed to be the counter to my move. So we ended up seeing who had the better move, I suppose.” Spann (22-10 MMA, 8-5 UFC) submitted longtime UFC veteran Ovince Saint Preux (27-18 MMA, 15-13 UFC) with his signature high-elbow guillotine choke at 1:35 of Round 1 at Delta Center. Despite the fight’s brevity, Spann said he felt there were some obvious mistakes he made.
