Athletistic/MMA. Famous trainer Javier Mendez, who previously worked with Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov, spoke about his expectations for the fight between Tom Aspinall and Sergei Pavlovich. The Brit and the Russian will compete for the UFC interim champion title at UFC 295.

“What are the disadvantages of Tom Aspinall? On paper, Tom is also very strong. Good grappling, good striking. He trains with top boxers, kickboxers. Tom is a very serious opponent. So we expect to a fight between two dangerous attackers capable of finishing the fight from the start. We’ll see. This is a big challenge for Sergey. It’s definitely not an easy fight.

Sonnen: I’m surprised Aspinall is considered the favorite against Pavlovich

Should Sergei quickly start from the beginning? I don’t think it’s good to rush. When you rush, you can get into trouble. You must first probe and understand your opponent. There is no need to rush,” Sport-Express quotes Mendes.
