Moldavsky himself represents the team Fedor Emelianenko and has been competing in MMA since February 2015. Some of the opponents defeated by the Russian fighter include Linton Vassell, Javi Ayala and Roy Nelson.
– Who is the best Russian heavyweight currently?
– If you look at the notes, probably Sergei Pavlovich . He is objectively the closest to the UFC title, but again, Tolya Malykhin is the One FC two-time champion, which is good too. And if we take a set of skills, then, probably, I would single out Alexander Volkov and Anatoly Malykhin. Tolya is fighting, he has improved in shock, he breathes well and he is quite versatile. And Volkov, although it is believed that his fight is not the strongest, it is clear that he is a universal fighter. I would single them out,” the Moldovan “” said.
Sergey Pavlovich and Alexander Volkov are in the top 10 UFC heavyweights, Anatoly Malykhin holds the One FC belt.
