“Everyone is talking about Sergei Pavlovich,” FoxSports quotes the American. “And Sergey is a big challenge, but no one knows who he is. For the most part, no one knows him. I think UFC analyst Luke Thomas put it best when he said, ‘high risk for very low reward’.”
“In the case of a fight with Francis Ngannou, it would have been worth the risk, worth the money. And here, who knows? Perhaps if the UFC offers the right amount, we can implement this idea with Sergey, but at the moment I have all the achievements, and I don’t need to prove anything. ”
“Right now my goal is to have one big fight against Stipe Miocic at Madison Square Garden and get it over with. I think the fight with Stipe will be enough for me. I don’t think I will have to prove anything after I beat Stipe Miocic.”
A title fight between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic is scheduled to headline the traditional UFC New York tournament in November, while Sergei Pavlovich is on a streak of six wins by knockout in the first round and is second in the organization’s heavyweight division.
