To the Russian fighter Sergei Pavlovich You should not get involved in an open fight with your compatriot Alexander Volkov, fighter Valery Myasnikov told .
On Thursday, UFC chief Dana White announced that Pavlovich and Volkov would fight 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.
— A very interesting confrontation between two Russian giants, I will not support anyone in this fight. I want the fight to last all rounds. In this case, I think Alexander has a better chance – due to his experience in full fights, his ability to build a fight to suit his style when working from a long distance, and his awkward anthropometry. Sergey has more explosive power and he has a good chance if he can explode, attack and catch in time, closing in on his opponent at close to mid range. But at the same time, one should be wary of Sasha’s sharp knees and Thai clinch, so one should not stagnate at this distance without work. Non-standard combat tactics would suit Sergey: changing styles from round to round and not being simple, it requires quick and unexpected approaches with feints and challenges, but I don’t think this will work in a shootout with Sasha,” Myasnikov told .
