Sergei Pavlovich vs Tom Aspinall – UFC 295: Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall face off at Madison Square Garden in New York City, United States for their co-main event at UFC 295.
Sergei Pavlovich vs Tom Aspinall – The confrontation is worth the interim belt of the heavyweight category and is scheduled to start in the morning from Saturday to Sunday, November 12, 2023, from 01:30 Brasilia.
The Russian Sergei Pavlovich is pointed out with broad favoritism for this fight, boasting an almost undefeated cartel in his career, in addition to 190 cm high and imposing 213 cm in wingspan at the height of his 31 years.
Characterized by being an excellent knockout, the Russian debuted in the UFC with a loss to Alistair Overeem in November 2018, but has not been defeated since then, recording six straight wins.
His most recent duel took place in April of this year, when he faced Curtis Blaydes and got the better in just over three minutes of the first round, long enough to knock out his opponent.
Pavlovich is the bookmaker’s favorite for having an almost impeccable track record and still having a thorough preparation for this weekend’s duel, while his opponent accepted the challenge with little time to prepare, which can also make a difference in the Octagon.
His record consists of 18 wins and only 1 loss in MMA, adding 15 wins by KO/ TKO and 3 by decision of the judges.
There were 5 consecutive victories in the last 5 fights that the Russian Sergei Pavlovich played and in this period the athlete showed all his quality by beating Derrick Lewis, Tai Tuivasa, Curtis Blaydes, Shamil Abdurakhimov and also Maurice Greene.
While on the other side is the also young prodigy Tom Aspinall, who is taller than his opponent, with 195 cm high, however, has significant disadvantage in relation to the wingspan, with “only” 198 cm in this regard.
Occupying the fourth place in the heavyweight ranking, the Englishman has a golden opportunity to take down the second place in search of the interim belt and, at 30 years old, arrives quite motivated after defeating Marcin Tybura in July this year, in just over 1 minute of combat, when applying a technical knockout.
In the last 5 times he has been officially involved, 4 wins and only 1 loss have been recorded, beating Alexander Volkov, Sergey Spivak, Andrei Arlovski and also Marcin Tybura, and losing to Curtis Blaydes.
His record has 13 wins and only 3 losses, adding 10 wins by KO/TKO and 3 by submission.
In a title fight that puts two super dangerous athletes face to face, Pavlovich and Aspinall tend to star in one of the most hectic duels of the night, between two young postulants to the linear title.
Betting Tip Sergei Pavlovich vs Tom Aspinall:
However, although Aspinall is noted as a favorite in his quotes, being a more technically refined fighter, I believe that the brute strength of the Russian who is at the peak of his physical form and had complete preparation for this fight can make a difference in his favor, being one of the most feared fighters of our time with an almost impeccable record, while Aspinall suffered a serious injury that took him out of the Octagons for over a year recently and has yet to beat names as high as his opponent who lined up Derrick Lewis, Tai Tuivasa and Curtis Blaydes for the last 15 months.
