Sergey Pavlovich spoke about the upcoming fight for the vacant title with Tom Aspinall, which will take place on November 11 at the UFC 295 tournament in New York, USA.
“Now it’s not in my head that it was a spontaneous decision, that I got everything in an easy, roundabout way. In principle, everything went towards this, I knew where I was going and what I wanted, so this is the result of hard and persistent work. I'm on the right track and I'm glad about it.
As you know, I had injuries for two years, it took a long time to recover, and then I worked very hard, worked hard, there was always a goal, and I walked towards it in small steps,” Pavlovich said in an interview with UFC Eurasia.
Let us remember that initially at UFC 295, full-fledged heavyweight champion Jon Jon was supposed to defend his title against Stipe Miocic. However, a few weeks before the tournament, the American dropped out due to a torn pectoral muscle, thereby forcing the promotion to arrange a fight for the interim belt.
