Russian MMA fighter Sergei Pavlovich told how he perceives the comparison with Alexander Volkov in the eyes of the public in the United States and what was the reaction of Volkov to the victory of Sergei himself over Derrick Lewis.
Pavlovich and Volkov argue in Moscow. Earlier, in 2018, Volkov lost to Lewis, and in July this year, Pavlovich beat a fighter from the United States by technical knockout in the first round.
– No damage from the fight with Lewis?
– The cut was small on the head, otherwise everything is fine.
– Don’t you feel like you took the nickname “Drago” from Volkov and took the place of an exemplary Russian heavyweight for the American public.
No, I don’t need other people’s nicknames. I don’t know how Russian heavyweights are represented in America, I can only answer for myself.
– Did Alexander Volkov say anything after the fight with Lewis?
– Congratulations. We always support each other. We have such a mentality that if someone succeeds, we will be happy for each other, we will always congratulate each other.
– There are five Russian-speaking heavyweights in the UFC top 15: you, Spivak, Volkov, Abdurahimov and Romanov. Am I to understand correctly that you will only avoid the fight with Volkov because you train together?
You answered for me, yes.
Sergey Pavlovich trains in Moscow and trains at the Strela gymnasium. At the moment, the 30-year-old heavyweight’s stats are 16 wins and 1 loss.
