Russian fighter Vyacheslav Vasilyevsky in a conversation with a correspondent, he expressed the hope that very soon the public will discuss the fight between Sergei Pavlovich And Jon Jones .
Earlier, UFC chief Dana White announced that Pavlovich would fight against Briton Tom Aspinall for the UFC interim heavyweight title. The fight will take place at UFC 295 in New York on November 11. The fight became possible because current champion John John was injured and will not fight Stipe Miocic.
— Sergei Pavlovich has every chance of becoming champion. The first Russian UFC heavyweight champion. I think it’s a very good opportunity. Aspinall, of course, is a troublesome opponent, he has a particular style, he works in his own way. Tom doesn’t negotiate, he’s not a classic boxer. Of course, this is not a gift for Sergei. But in the fight with Aspinall there are more chances, he and Jones had some, but there are clearly more here. Pavlovich must impose his wheelhouse on Aspinall, he is better than the Brit in stand-up.
—You said Jones would avoid a fight with Sergei. Looking ahead, if Pavlovich wins, John will have nowhere to run.
– Jones isn’t afraid of Sergei or anything. Pavlovich is simply very troublesome for him in two respects: he is loud and not very media-friendly. Jones will simply lose a lot in this fight; if he loses, Sergei will become a superstar, and John, at the end of his career, will not have the best tour. This is exactly what the American avoids. But Jones is definitely not afraid, everyone and everything in the octagon was standing in front of him, who should he be afraid of? But I don’t want to go too fast: we need Pavlovich first to defeat Aspinall. Hopefully we will discuss the fight between Sergei and Jon Jones soon,” Vasilevsky told .
Pavlovich last fought on April 22 at UFC Fight Night 222, knocking out Curtis Blaydes in the first round. The 31-year-old fighter has 18 victories and one defeat.
