Recently we saw Sergei Pavlovich make an emphatic statement to the rest of the heavyweight division when he delivered a devastating first round knockout to longtime top contender Curtis Blaydes. Pavlovich has now won six successive fights, each one by a first round knockout. This type of run has never been replicated before in the division with previous knockout artist Francis Ngannou only managing four successive first-round finishes. This has led many people to wonder, is Sergei Pavlovich the man to beat Jon Jones? Quite possibly.

Pavlovich started his MMA career way back in 2014.
