The winner of the meeting will become the interim champion of the promotion in the heavyweight division.
“As far as we know, I have the second longest reach in the UFC. My job, it’s no secret, is to keep my opponents at a distance. And shoot from there.
I understand: I will try to keep at a distance, and Tom will try to pull me apart on the “floors”, and then go under the front hand, as Jon Jones did with Cyril Gun, to enter the fight. But my job is to keep my distance and do my job,” Pavlovich said in an interview with the UFC.
