Russian mixed-style fighter Magomed Ismailov said he was surprised when Sergei Pavlovich pushed Alexander Volkov away after the fight.
On Saturday in Saudi Arabia, Volkov defeated Pavlovich by unanimous decision in the UFC tournament. Immediately after the fight, Pavlovich pushed Volkov, who tried to encourage his opponent and shake his hand.
— It was sad to see the confrontation between Pavlovich and Volkov. But it’s certain that when they train, they attack in the same way. Perhaps Volkov presented something new that Pavlovich did not expect. Although I consider Pavlovich one of the most formidable heavyweights in the world. A strong and powerful knockout, the trajectory of blows is generally unpredictable, he simply did not find Volkov’s keys. And Volkov was a strategist in this confrontation, considering they also combed their hair during breaks! I thought Volkov adopted this method of psychological influence on an opponent of Roberto Duran. I was surprised that Pavlovich then pushed Volkov away. But I immediately concluded that it was about emotions. You experience such emotions that, in a certain sense, you can behave unpredictably somewhere. Immediately after the fight, you can expect anything from your opponent. The emotional state after a fight can be different. You should always let someone take a step back after a fight, to calm down,” reports a correspondent, reporting Ismailov’s words.
