Another UFC Fight Night will take place on December 4th at Amway Center. In one of the main card events, Australian heavyweight Tai Tuivasa will fight heavyweight, Russian Sergei Pavlovich. The fight is planned for 06:00 UK time.
Compared to Tuivasa, Sergei is a more athletic and technical fighter. His boxing is definitely better, so he is the deserved favorite in this pairing. The Russian has a significant advantage in arm span which will help him to disassemble his opponent from the distance. If Pavlovich does not get involved in wild exchanges, he will confidently outwork the not very inventive Australian.
The Australian fighteris a pronounced striker, puncher and knockout artist. Always looking to tear his opponent’s head off with swinging punches. Very explosive and reckless fighter. Tuivasa has been making quite a splash in the roster of the world’s top leagues in recent years. He had one of the longest winning streaks in the heavyweight division, winning all his fights by knockout.
The ascent of Tai Tuivasa was stopped by former title challenger French Ciryl Gane. “Bam-Bam” had a great chance to finish his opponent, but still lost legitimately in the 3rd round. At this point, the 29-year-old has 14 wins and four losses to his credit.
Russian Sergei Pavlovich is going to the rightful title fight.He is also a pronounced puncher, who throws a series of punches and breaks his opponents in the course of the fight. The winning streak of the former FNG champion has reached the four fight mark. All of his victories came by knockout in the first round. The only misfire of his professional career he made with an experienced Dutchman Alistair Overeem, who took him down. As of today, the Russian fighter is 30 years old, and his record consists of 16 wins and one loss.
