Former PFL champ Ali Isaev says he wants to fight Russian UFC fighter Sergei Pavlovich but did not have this opportunity.
Pavlovich will most likely fight Curtis Blades. What is the balance of power? Will there be a continuation of Pavlovich’s series of knockouts in the first rounds?
– Pavlovich style for a ride. The long fights I’ve seen him in Fight Nights showed his punch getting weaker as the fight progressed. Impossible to hit like at the start of the duel. For this reason, you must finish at the beginning. If the fight lasts more than one round, it will be difficult for him. Against Derrick Lewis, I immediately said that Pavlovich would win. Because Lewis shouldn’t be allowed to rest, like Alexander Volkov did. Other fighters… There are three or four good fighters in the UFC, but the rest… The UFC heavyweight division is overrated. I don’t think this organization is that unrealistically strong. It’s the mark, the number one mark. Organization required, excellent public relations machine.
– Do you have more confidence or anxiety for Pavlovich?
– I do not know. The blades in the “shock” also scored. Pulled up, judging by the last fights. He fights in the stance and fumbles in the fight. Will Pavlovich be enough if the fight lasts more than one round? Sergei beats openly. He may miss. It would be interesting for me to fight with Pavlovich.
– We had to sign a contract with another organization.
I wanted to, but they didn’t offer me. It’s not my fault, but I would have fought with pleasure,” Isaev told Metaratings.ru.
30-year-old Pavlovich in MMA won 17 with one defeat, in the UFC he spent six fights. In his last fight in December, he knocked out Australian Tai Tuivasa at the UFC tournament in Orlando.
