Report: Sergey Spivak Steps In At UFC Fight Night Ottawa
Walt Harris was in need of a new opponent for UFC Fight Night Ottawa after Aleksei Oleinik was moved to the main event of UFC Fight Night St. Petersburg and now he has one because Farah Hannoun is reporting that Sergey Spivak has accepted the short notice opportunity.
Harris (12-7-0) also enters the contest while riding a two fight winning streak, having defeated the duo of Daniel Spitz and Andrei Arlovski.

Spivak has competed nine times as a professional MMA fighter and none of his fights have gone past the second round. Spivak has picked up nine wins as a professional MMA fighter and half of them have come by way of submission.
