Sergei Pavlovich holds the #3 spot at heavyweight, flying the flag for Russia — and rankings that high aren't given away, they're taken.
On the feet he's a problem: 4.43 significant strikes a minute at 52% accuracy, and 76% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him. Add the southpaw stance and a 84" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.
He arrives on a 3-fight win streak — most recently Tallison Teixeira, KO/TKO (Punch) R1. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
