Sergei Pavlovich’s UFC and MMA record

As mentioned earlier, Sergei Pavlovich was riding a 12-fight win streak when he signed on with the UFC. Naturally, he was a top talent in the game. However, his start in the UFC was somewhat rocky.

As of today, Pavlovich’s UFC record stands at 6-1-0. His professional MMA record stands at 18-1-0. Now, it seems that Sergei Pavlovich has the chance to make it 19-1-0. At UFC 295, Sergei Pavlovich is going to be taking on the talented #4 heavyweight in the UFC, Tom Aspinall. Both fighters are going to be filling in for the canceled bout between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic. Naturally, both fighters have a lot at stake. Maybe even a title shot?

Having been trained in combat sambo, Pavlovich has all the tools necessary to become one of the best UFC heavyweights on the roster. But to be able to do that, he needs to earn himself a title shot and Tom Aspinall stands in the way of that.
