Sergei Pavlovich
- Odds: +138
- Record: 17-1-0
- Age: 30

Pavlovich hails from Rostov, Russia, and went pro in MMA in 2014. Unfortunately, his debut in UFC in China in 2018 resulted in his only loss. However, he bounced back with a streak of five consecutive victories, all by KO. It’s evident that he packs a punch, and his opponents need to be extremely careful. In fact, out of his 17 wins, only three were by decision, showcasing his firepower with 14 KO wins.
Those who know Pavlovich well believe that his previous opponents, Derrick Lewis or Tai Tuivasa, don’t measure up to the level of Curtis Blaydes as a rival. So, Blaydes will be the first real test for the Russian in the UFC.
Curtis Blaydes
- Odds: -175
- Record: 17-3-0
- Age: 32
- Height: 1.93m
- Weight: 117kg
- Reach: 203cm
Curtis Blaydes boasts significant experience in the UFC, having joined the organization in April 2016. However, his debut resulted in one of his three losses on his record. He is currently on a three-fight winning streak, with his most recent victory being a curious one, since he won in just 15 seconds against Tom Aspinall, who suffered a knee injury.
Hailing from Illinois, Blaydes also packs a heavy punch but is susceptible to knockouts, having lost all three of his defeats by KO. Besides, he shares a similar height and reach with his opponent, so fans can expect a closely contested bout. However, Blaydes’ greater experience could make all the difference.
JefeBet Prediction
It’s a spicy matchup that is expected to be very close. One wrong move can spell disaster for either fighter. So, in this game of equal footing, Blaydes has the edge and is favored to secure a decisive victory.
Prediction: Blaydes wins by KO.
