If Russian Sergei Pavlovich will not be able to defeat his compatriot Alexandra Volkova in the first round, he will then have practically no chance. The fighter shared this opinion with Ivan Shtyrkov .
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.
– Pavlovich – 15 knockouts in the first round, since 2017 he did not make a judge’s decision, he fought for the title of UFC champion. I think the first five minutes will be the most dangerous for Volkov. Alexandre is more technical, he also finished a lot of people, but his shots are not that hard, and he gets worn out. If Pavlovich doesn’t make it to the first round, he won’t have much chance of winning,” Shtyrkov told .
