CAMP WARFARE INTEL

XTREME COUTURE / LAS VEGAS
Las Vegas, NV
  • The Nicksick Evolution: **Eric Nicksick** has shifted Spivac's focus to "Impact Shielding"—specifically drilling high-guard entries to absorb heavy power shots from heavyweights like Delija without conceding the centerline.
  • Elite Heavyweight Matrix: Sparring rounds with **Roman Dolidze** and tactical sessions with the Xtreme Couture elite ensure Spivac is acclimated to high-level pressure and technical scrambles.
  • Tactical Sambo Integration: Refinement of 2026 "trip-chaining"—linking multiple Sambo throws together to ensure that if the first attempt is sprawled, the second transition is immediate.
  • CAMP DNA: Strategic Grappling, Elite Tactical Planning, Vegas Resource Access.
TEAM ASPINALL / CRO COP TEAM
Manchester, UK / Zagreb, CRO
  • The Aspinall Blueprint: Daily training with UFC HW Champ **Tom Aspinall** has upgraded Delija’s movement speed. He is mimicking Tom’s "blitz-recovery" to strike and sprawl in one fluid motion.
  • Legendary Mentorship: Under **Mirko Cro Cop**, Delija has weaponized his 2026 check-hook specifically to catch Sambo wrestlers as they change levels for a shot.
  • Anti-Grappling Protocol: Intensive wall-work sessions with **Andy Aspinall** in Manchester, focusing on "framing and separation" to avoid being pinned against the cage by Spivac's 250lb frame.
  • CAMP DNA: World-Class Speed, Legendary Mentorship, Technical Precision.

TECHNICAL WAR ROOM

SERGHEI SPIVAC

TACTICAL BREAKDOWN
FIGHTER PEDIGREE
BACKGROUND:SAMBO / JUDO
STYLE:GRAPPLER
WEAPON:ARM-TRIANGLE
AGENT INTEL / SPECIAL

CONFIDENCE ISSUE: Spivac fights like a world-beater when he's winning, but wilts under heavy fire (see Gane & Aspinall fights). Delija brings exactly that kind of pressure.

ANTE DELIJA

TACTICAL BREAKDOWN
FIGHTER PEDIGREE
BACKGROUND:MMA / KICKBOXING
STYLE:POWER BRAWLER
WEAPON:RIGHT HAND
AGENT INTEL / SPECIAL

THE BULLDOZER: Delija doesn't finesse you. He runs you over. His PFL title run proved he can grit out tough fights. He is bigger (6'5") and hits harder than Spivac.

AI PREDICTION

WINNER: ANTE DELIJA

Method: KO/TKO

Delija is willing to trade and has the "anti-grappling" to stay upright. Spivac struggles significantly when he is forced into a brawl (see Gane and Jailton fights). Delija's Cro Cop-taught fundamentals will prevent the Sambo throws, leaving Spivac exposed to heavy leather and a likely knockout.
