Three-time champion ONE Anatoly Malykhin told that he could not name a favorite in the fight between Russian heavyweights Alexander Volkov And Sergei Pavlovich .
On Thursday, UFC director Dana White announced that Pavlovich and Volkov would face each other at the UFC tournament in Saudi Arabia on June 22. Volkov (37-10) enters the UFC on a three-fight win streak and ranks sixth in the rankings. Pavlovich (18-2) lost his last fight in November against Briton Tom Aspinall for the UFC interim belt. Before that, Pavlovich’s streak in the UFC was six early first-round wins. The Russian occupies third place in the ranking.
– This is a serious confrontation. Volkov and Pavlovich… These are guys who have spent hundreds, if not thousands, of hours training against each other. These are guys who know everything about each other: not just their moves, but who like their steak cooked and well done. The chances are 50 to 50. It all depends on who is mentally prepared and how. For some reason I think the fight will go to all rounds and there will be a decision,” Malykhin told .
