Russian fighter Sergey Pavlovich topped the UFC heavyweight division rating, displacing Frenchman Cyril Gan from the first position.
The updated list of the best heavyweights is published on the official website of the organization.
“There is a lot of work ahead!” Pavlovich commented on this news.
Indirectly, this event confirms the information that it is the Russian who will become the next opponent of the current UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones, whom the league matchmakers could not organize a fight with Stipe Miocic, scheduled for November.
In November 2018, Sergey Pavlovich made an unsuccessful debut in the UFC, losing to Alistair Overeem by technical knockout already in the starting five minutes, after which he knocked out the next six opponents, whom he dealt with in the first round.
The latest victim of the 31-year-old Russian heavyweight was the American Curtis Blades, who lasted a little more than three minutes against Pavlovich in April of this year.
