Sergei Pavlovich had to be 54 second faster than Tai Tuivasa to defeat him in UFC Orlando.
The heavy-handed Russian was determined to win the fight from the beginning. He smashed Tuivasa with an aggressive shot that rattled his always entertaining Australian opponent. Pavlovich just poured on the punishment as he continued blasting Tuivasa with punches while still being wary of the power his opponent can produce in return.
Eventually, Pavlovich stuck a jab in Tuivasa’s already bloody face that dropped him to the canvas for the second time in the fight before unloading a few more punches that led to the finish.
Pavlovich won the UFC’s fifth straight fight and was knocked out five times in succession.
Pavlovich stated that he had to work hard to achieve these results. Pavlovich said, “I hope I get a bonus this time.”
“Honestly we dissected my opponent and all his different disciplines. It was an important fight in my career .”
It was an unreal performance from Pavlovich, who essentially walked down Tuivasa and had him hurt early without any real fear of reprisal. There are plenty of heavyweights who tried that same strategy yet Tuivada made them pay dearly.
This time around it was Pavlovich who had Tuivada hurt and then he just continued hammering away until he scored the impressive knockout.
Pavlovich will be one step closer in title contention, with only a few other options before he calls for Francis Ngannou to fight him.
