Sergei Pavlovich has for the time being wandered off the path to contention in the always-volatile Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight division.
The 6-foot-3, 260-pound Russian will take aim at his first win in nearly two years when he toes the line against Jairzinho Rozenstruik in a UFC Fight Night 250 heavyweight showcase on Saturday at anb Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Pavlovich, who owns a 6-3 record across his nine assignments inside the Octagon, steps back into view following consecutive losses. The 32-year-old Eagles MMA rep has secured 15 of his 18 professional victories—a whopping 83% of them—by knockout or technical knockout.
