#11 UFC Heavyweight Rankings Sergei Pavlovich (15-1) recalled how he went through training camp at the AKA gym in San Jose and compared it with his training at the gym Alexandra Volkova “Arrow” in Moscow.
– We only fought with Cormier Cain Velasquez did not qualify then. We have done a good job. Cormier is a talented fighter, good at both striking and grappling, it was hard to get out of him when he was translating. And he was able to translate. And we fought, like you were going into a cage, Pavlovich told .
Were there any reversals?
– Well, by the way, we were cut directly, but there were no knockdowns. Well cut hard. The whole atmosphere is there. Everyone who trained in that gym trained like that.
– Many people think that in Strela, in the Alexander Volkov gymnasium, where you train now, sparring is not so difficult. I heard that is not the case, that they are also cut there. Could you confirm?
– I can. We train the same way at Arrow, very hard. I like this kind of work, when everything is close to the battle.
Pavlovich’s closest opponent will be former title challenger Derrick Lewis (26-9). The fighters will meet again on July 30 at UFC 277 in the USA.
