If there was ever a fight that a knockout could guarantee, it was a heavyweight collision between Sergei Pavlovich and Jairzinho rose bush.
On the way to UFC Saudi Aarabia this Saturday, fans emphasized the heavyweight fight between former interim title -ending, Sergei Pavlovich and Jairzinho Rozen bush as one of the best on the map.
After he had lost against Tom Aspinall at the end of 2023, the Russian KO artist looked to return to the win column against Alexander Volkov, but he suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time in his career.
'Bigi Boy', on the other hand, wanted to score three wins in a row for the first time since 2019.

Fans wonder what happened to Sergei Pavlovich after 'Snoozefest' fight
Pavlovich has one of the shortest average battle times in the entire UFC with 15 KOs of his 19 victories, bulldo -on through different contenders on their way to the top.
Nevertheless, fans were confronted with one of the most passive heavyweight battles in the recent memory, which came as a huge shock, given the fighting styles of both fighters.
With both heavyweights aware of the power that the other possessed, nor came out and walked over in the case of being caught with a large KO punch.
Round two played extremely in the same way, because they both proved to stay out of the Power series of the other for the time being, which resulted in a different boring round.
Fans were shocked when the last horn sounded and the fight went to the scor cards of the judge. With the Russian that is known for his frightening KO power, fans have wondered what happened to Pavlovich, even though he took the victory.
“Pavlovich checked the fight, but it was just as not too entertaining as a fight. The heavyweight division is now in a bad place, “says a fan.
“Sergei Pavlovich lost all his aura since he fought against Alexander Volkov,” another noticed.
“This is not Sergei Pavlovich that I remember,” noted a fan.
The last fight of Roos bush against Tai Tuisivasa also came under heavy criticism because he was a passive fight.
What is the next step for Sergei Pavlovich that UFC Saudi -Arabia is approaching?
Despite gaining the victory, Pavlovich probably does not get very favorable matchup because of the condition of the victory.
UFC Baas, Dana White rarely rewards hunters after provisional versions and he will probably have many questions to answer with his next performance.
Brazilian competition, Jilton Almeida bounced from a loss to Curtis Blaydes with back-to-back victories that put him back in the vicinity of the division. The promotion can set up a title -eliminator between the Russian and the Brazilian phenomenon.
