Undefeated heavyweight Sergey Pavlovich shared his expectations from his UFC debut, which is scheduled on November 24 in Beijing, China. The highly experienced 38-year-old Dutchman Alistair Overeem will become an opponent of the 26-year-old Russian.
“I am glad that I will fight with such an opponent. Overeem’s experience? We are all humans, made up of meat and bones, so you need to go out and fight. Of course, he is a very experienced and serious guy. We watched his fights and prepared responsibly. To be the best, you need to fight the best.
“For me, the transition to the UFC is a big step in my pro career. I have come a long and hard way towards this goal, but I am glad to move on to this promotion. I will try to train and give all myself to perform well and please the fans.
“Now all my thoughts are only about the fight with Overeem, I don’t look behind his back. We need to fight, and after the battle we will already think about future plans,” Pavlovich said.
