Sergei Pavlovich is the most feared man in the UFC heavyweight division. It is because he is on a six-fight win streak, with all the wins coming via knockout in the very first round. This has earned his right to fight for the UFC interim championship. Even though his coach said that knockout was their plan, Pavlovich said he was also ready for a 5 round fight.

The Russian is coming off a victory against Curtis Blaydes, while Tom Aspinall is coming off a victory against Marcin Tybura. This fight was scheduled due to the cancelation of Jon Jones’ fight against Stipe Miocic. It was canceled as a result of Jones suffering an injury in training.

A short recap of Sergei Pavlovich’s MMA career in the UFC

Sergei Pavlovich started his MMA career in one of the leading MMA promotions in Russia, Fight Nights Global. He won all his fights there and extended his MMA record to 12-0 before signing with the UFC. However, he tasted his first defeat in his first fight in the UFC. He fought Alistair Overeem on his UFC debut and lost the fight via TKO in the first round.

However, Sergei Pavlovich tore through the UFC heavyweight division after that loss as he stacked up six straight victories. He has won over the names like Derrick Lewis, Tai Tuivasa, and Curtis Blaydes. All his victory in the UFC came through a first-round knockout. This made him the most dangerous fighter in the UFC heavyweight division.

Now, Sergei Pavlovich faces Tom Aspinall for the interim heavyweight championship in the co-main event of the UFC 295. Aspinall is a good fighter with overall ground and stand-up skills. So, this fight would be Pavlovich’s toughest test ever.
