Blaydes named the reason for Pavlovich's defeat from Aspinall

Top American heavyweight Curtis Blades shared his impressions of the fight between Tom Aspinall And Sergei Pavlovich, which took place on November 12 at the UFC 295 tournament in New York.

Let us remind you that Aspinall knocked out Pavlovich in the first round and became the interim heavyweight champion.

“I expected Aspinall to win, although I was surprised at how exactly it went. I thought Tom would be smarter and more careful in his stance. But I expected Pavlovich to act more aggressively. This was a key moment - it allowed Tom to find his rhythm of movement and gave him room to manoeuvre.

There is a difference between fights in the Apex Center and in a standard Octagon. The cage is much more spacious. It's hard to work aggressively when movement is limited. But Sergei gave Aspinall freedom of movement, and this led to this outcome,” the American said in an interview with MiddleEasy.
