Pavlovich vs. Aspinall for the Interim Championship

Currently, there is no consensus among fans of mixed martial arts about the winner. It should be taken into account that the Russian thoroughly prepared for the title fight as a reserve, and the Briton will have to do preparatory work in a short time.

Sergey Pavlovich is on a six-match winning streak in UFC. In total, he has 19 fights and 18 wins, 15 of which were knockouts. Competing in universal fights, he won the championship of Russia, Europe and the world. In 2017, he was awarded the title of heavyweight champion at Fight Nights Global. He is ranked #2 in the UFC heavyweight rankings.

Tom Aspinella has had 16 fights in his mixed martial arts career. He won 13 of them and lost 3. He currently ranks #4 in the professional rankings.

The meeting of the opponents was planned a couple of years ago, but then, due to difficulties with paperwork, the Russian fighter was unable to fly to the tournament in the United States.

The closer it gets to the fight, the more heated the discussions are among the fans! That evening, light heavyweights Jiri Prochazka and Alex Pereira will also enter the ring in a title fight, as will Diego Lope and Pat Sabatini, Matt Frevola and Benoit Saint-Denis, Matt Schnell and Steve Erczeg, and others. Strong and brutal participants in the cage will be replaced by representatives of the fair sex: Jessica Andradz and Mackenzie Dern, Tabatha Ritchie and Lupita Godinez.

Root for your favorite! Who will get the interim championship belt - we will find out soon!
