Sergey Pavlovich

UFC welterweightAnthony Smith gave his prediction for the upcoming bout between Alexander Volkov and Sergey Pavlovic.

"The Pavlovic vs. Volkov fight is very interesting to me. It's just super. I'm still a little bit more leaning towards Pavlovic winning. Because Volkov, despite all his strengths, is still not a puncher. He won't put you out with one punch. And it will be a little bit easier for Pavlovic, because he'll be able to find the right distance and start throwing his bombs, and it will be hard to move him, especially for a tall guy like Volkov. All in all, a very cool and interesting fight."

Recall that Pavlovic's fight with Volkov will take place on June 22 at the UFC event in Saudi Arabia.

UFC heavyweight Sergey Pavlovic talked about his severe injuries that he suffered during his fighting career. According to the fighter, the most severe injury was a cruciate ligament tear.

"My nose was broken, but nothing like that. Tore cruciate ligaments. It took two years to recover. It was a tough injury, tough recovery. It turned out that I started squatting early, I had to straighten it out. Anyway, I think I might be a rehabber by now. It's all good now, thank God, everything's fine. That was the biggest injury. Really unpleasant," - said Pavlovich on the channel Ruslan Gumilev in YouTube.

We will remind, earlier Sergey Pavlovich called his confrontation with Derrick Lewis the bloodiest fight in the UFC.

Sergey Pavlovich, UFC heavyweight, named his bloodiest fight in the promotion. In Sergey's opinion, it was the fight with Derrick Lewis.

"Probably the bloodiest fight turned out to be with Derrick Lewis. I didn't even realize how it happened. I think when he was hitting the side kick, did a cross-section. You can see it in the photo there - bloody face. It's okay, it's pretty. I didn't feel it during the fight. But you can refer it to bloody fights, because there is blood on the face," - said Pavlovic in a recent interview.

Recall, his next fight Pavlovic will hold against Alexander Volkov. The fight will take place on June 22 in Saudi Arabia.

UFC heavyweight Alexander Volkov named the key to victory in his upcoming fight with Sergey Pavlovich.

"The most important thing is not to piss! Everything else is a matter of chance. Sergey knows how to knockout with any punch. The main thing here is just to be ready for it and not to be afraid. What is the probability that the fight with Pavlovich will not happen? Well, it's like the probability that you will meet a dinosaur in the street - 50/50: either you will or you won't. It's the same here: the fight will either happen or it won't. In fact, the probability is that it's going to happen. And what will happen in two months, it's hard for me to say. I'm still preparing for this fight," said the fighter.

UFC heavyweight Alexander Volkov talked about how his sparring sessions with Sergey Pavlovich went. Volkov noted the power of Sergey's punching.

"Well you saw these sparring sessions yourself, he hits like a hoof - very hard. It was very hard to work with him. I think I didn't win a single round against him. Of course, after every punch. My legs were shaking. To be honest, when he came to sparring, I tried to stand with him less, because I realized that every time he hit, some injury could happen. I stood up for the very first rounds with him and tried not to stand up anymore. Because when Sergey was warming up, he could hit very hard", - said the fighter.
