Top British featherweight Arnold Allen analyzed the upcoming fight for the interim title in the heavyweight division between his compatriot Tom Aspinall and Russian Sergei Pavlovich.
The meeting of these fighters will take place on November 11 at the UFC 285 tournament in New York.
“Pavlovic is a knockout machine. He has 15 knockouts to his name. He only lost to Overeem. Alistair was constantly getting closer, throwing punches with his knees, tripping him up in one of the Thai clinches and finishing it.
Aspinall is an excellent grappler. He has excellent submissions. He is very fast: both in boxing and in performing takedowns. His exchanges are very good. If he can transfer Pavlovich, he will win. You need to be elusive; you shouldn’t get into a fight with him. If Tom can pin him to the ground, he will definitely win,” MMA News quotes Allen.
