Being on a losing skid has Sergei Pavlovich sensing a sway in support heading into UFC Fight Night 250.
Once a destructive force at heavyweight with six straight first-round knockout wins, Pavlovich (18-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) now finds himself on the first losing streak of his career. The 32-year-old is coming off back-to-back losses to interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall and most recently Alexander Volkov at UFC on ABC 6.
“Of course I felt it. I felt that some people turned away, but I don’t pay them too much attention,” Pavlovich said through an interpreter during Wednesday’s media day. “I want to thank personally the people that have stayed, that supported me through this. For them, I want to do this, and those people who came and went and whatever, I’m not worried about that.”
Pavlovich will look to rebound when he takes on experienced striker Jairzinho Rozenstruik (15-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) on Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 250 (ESPN+) main card at ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“He’s a very explosive guy, he’s very fast, he has a lot of experience,” Pavlovich said of Rozenstruik. “So, you have to be ready for anything when it comes to him, and I’m ready for all three rounds.”
