Manager Rizvan Magomedov told when Sergei Pavlovich will hold the next fight, expressing the opinion that the Russian is one fight away from the title fight in the UFC.
Pavlovich is on a five-fight winning streak and is third in the UFC heavyweight rankings. Last year, the 30-year-old Russian became the only UFC fighter to finish two fights within the first minute of round one.
– I think Pavlovich is one fight away from the title fight. We expect him to fight in April or May. He is third in the heavyweight rankings, it will definitely be a Candidates fight: either with Cyril Gan or with someone else.
A big role in the promotion is played by his fighting style: he goes out and knocks everyone out. Moreover, the matchmakers themselves said that it was necessary to refresh the blood in the heavyweight division,” Magomedov said in an interview with .
– Do not be afraid that it will be difficult for Pavlovich and Gan, because it is convenient for Cyril to work with knockouts. Is it dangerous with Francis Ngannou, because there will be a duel with grenade launchers?
– I wouldn’t say that Seryoga is a pure puncher. He has very good boxing. He’s a combo, hard hitting, he has good explosions, but he’s not a one-hit fighter. And in general, when you reach such a level, what to worry about? Here you have to go out and fight with the best. I think either way the chances of Seryoga are quite high.
Pavlovich in MMA has 17 wins and one loss.
