Sergei Pavlovich has momentum on his side with his victory over Tai Tuivasa on ESPN 42 paving the way for his entry into the top 3 spots in the rankings. The 30-year-old has wiped the floor with his competition and is on a 5 fight-win streak. Even more impressive is his ability to finish his opponent. The Russian contender has never seen the second round of a UFC fight in his career. The Heavyweight division is undergoing an overhaul, as Francis Ngannou’s departure means that the heavyweight title is vacant. The UFC will crown a new champion in March when Ciryl Gane faces a returning Jon Jones at UFC 285.

Pavlovich will want to put his hat into the ring after a victor is determined, and the opportunity to stake his claim could come sooner rather than later. The Russian fighter has seemingly confirmed when the fans can watch him fight.

When can the fans witness Sergei Pavlovich’s next fight?

Sergei Pavlovich made his debut in the UFC back in 2018 and lost his debut against Alistair Overeem. He then made a name for himself as he secured knockout victories post the loss. The 30-year-old could not fight during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic with a combination of injury and visa issues. The #3 ranked heavyweight returned in style in 2022 as he beat Shamil Abdurakhimov via technical knockout.

Pavlovich continued the year in dominant fashion as he lay waste to Derrick Lewis and Tai Tuivasa with a slew of first-round finishes. The hype behind the Russian fighter is at an all-time high and fans are desperate to see him in action next. Pavlovich appeared to confirm his next outing on Twitter, where he simply tweeted “April“.
