Matt Brown predicted Sergei Pavlovich to get the better of Jon Jones if such a bout happens
After the enthralling performance put on by the Russian UFC Heavyweight, Sergei Pavlovich, at UFC Vegas 71, a lot of fans demanded his clash against the coveted UFC Heavyweight champion, Jon Jones. Although a lot predicted it to be an enthraller, the UFC Welterweight, Matt Brown, had a different level of faith in Pavlovich’s skills.
Brown took to his Twitter account after the UFC Vegas 71 and predicted Sergei Pavlovich as the winner even if he is matched up with the current Heavyweight kingpin, ‘Bones’. Brown wrote, “I’m calling it. Sergei beats Jon Jones.”
I’m calling it. Sergei beats Jon Jones.
