Sergei Pavlovich: Fighting Tom Aspinall at UFC 295 for the real title, not interim | ESPN MMA

[@RicardoSanchez-pc5mt]

As a native Russian speaker hands down that the best translator I ever seen,super accurate translation.

[@crgeorge1]

100% - no delay and amazing accuracy... Plus he translates the sayings on the fly - kudos to him!

[@enriquemendoza2700]

Fedors translator was top tier as well

[@RicardoSanchez-pc5mt]

@@enriquemendoza2700 she was more of an actor then translator:)) Every time she translated I enjoyed it, especially Chael Sonnen’s fight:))

[@bigD2033]

100% love this dude he also changes slang words to English and does it so quick its impressive.

[@revan5293]

I don’t speak Russian but he is doing an amazing job

[@alcottdevalte7440]

I really want Sergei to win the belt. He deserves it next. Reminds me of Colossus from Deadpool and Francis as well.

[@PEPPERS777]

i feel like i said it before but he's such a likeable guy, wish him the best

[@TheWorldisaLIE2]

just a big chill bear

[@deankosta6216]

Probably the deadliest fighter on the roster atm

[@revan5293]

Yoooo shout out to this translator he is doing an incredible job.

[@JasperJobs]

That's a good fighter, translator combo. So many fighters have bad interpreter, no connection, poorly spoken. Glad to see this.

[@elvinkrigsman6956]

Him and Aspinal would be the best bouncers in the nyc clubs back in the 80’s and 90’s when it was violent

[@elvinkrigsman6956]

Jones and stipe gonna retire after their fight, so this is the real title in my eyes

[@mattysquizzato7094]

I cannot see Tom Aspinall getting past this guy in any way. First round stoppage, as always. Sergei is easily the most intimidating fighter in the division.

[@DynastyIcon]

anything can happen in a fight brotha... you're probably not wrong but just don't be shocked if Tom pulls it off

[@fred3831]

Aspinall is better in literally every martial art, Sergei just has the ultimate punchers chance 😂

[@mattysquizzato7094]

@DynastyIcon You are 100% correct. Aspinall's wrestling could just be so much better, it could shut Pavlovic down. Who knows? It's quite possible Aspinall could knock Pavlovich out. At the end of the day, it's still a fight, and anything can happen in a fight. This is what makes it so interesting.

[@mattysquizzato7094]

@@fred3831 Yep. That power changes the whole dynamic.

[@WhosJoeMMA]

@@fred3831I don’t know if Aspinall is a better boxer than Sergei. His fluidity is prettier, but he gets caught often and his chin is in the sky. Sergei has no wasted movement and everything is tight.

What's his name?

His name Marek He is listed as 6 feet tall

[@unkownknown8531]

Russian heavy weight champ ? Could’ve been Prime Fedor but now we have this guy hope he makes us proud either way what he’s done to his opponents … he’s definitely the most dangerous man in the UFC right now.

[@Jvksiew]

Just to be clear, this guy beats up Fedor 7/10. Too big, too powerful and new generation fighter

[@markojokanovic349]

​@Jvksiew absolutely agree. Fedor has fast hands, Sergey is faster. Bigger reach, more power. He is a problem for every single heavyweight

[@simondalton8295]

Artem Lobov seems much nicer when he’s translating and not fighting

[@crazypato3752]

Fabiano vs This Russian translator for the Translator belt

[@besmart2350]

Yes, those two are excellent at their job. The way they can translate complex ideas on the fly is truly superb. It demonstrates that fighters from other countries are not dummies, as it may sometimes seem when there's a poor translator involved.

[@patricknez7258]

Pavlovich a monster

[@ernestolaclau1861]

Sergei is gonna smoke and finish the last UK hyped fighter in the 1th round 😎😎

[@adesanyasnipple5338]

Don’t be a sausage it’s a 50/50 if your Russian or English

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

Hyped? Isn't Tom's only loss in the UFC due to a knee injury? This fight is very close. Both are the best finishers in the UFC.

[@unclejunior2668]

@@KingDomsKingdom85hasn’t really fought the best.. his biggest win is vs Volkov.

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

@unclejunior2668 I understand that aspect, genuinely. However, you have to look at the manner in which he's beat his opponents. The "eye test" tells us a lot about a fighter, and Tom has beaten people on crazy winstreaks, and has done it ridiculously easy.

[@iv4677]

What about Andre? Tybura was on a great run… it’s not looking good for Sergei I promise you🤣

[@coffeetalk924]

He's the real deal. All business

[@mariogcgb]

Thanks for naming him!

[@ashardeadpool3922]

[@Rerollful]

It’s funny how both fighters do not look at JJ as being the champ and they both say this is the real title fight lol

[@cloudmamba5416]

deep down you and they know jon owns the division and calls the shots these dudes arent champ material watch

[@RunandLift2]

​@cloudmamba5416 Jon has fought. What 3 minutes since 2020? These guys unlike Jon have experience at this size. Jon is a legend at LHW. If he doesn't want to fight either of these guys then he is obviously looking to just fight Stipe and retire

[@bnegs521]

Jon loses to both of these guys

[@RunandLift2]

@@bnegs521 I certainly agree. Especially Sergei. Jon's weakness had been boxing and dudes with long reach. Sergei has the same as him. And is 2 inches taller. Plus what 30 pounds too

[@LambSauceWill]

Tom vs Sergei is the actual title fight. The fact that Jon and Stipe will likely retire after their fight takes away from the value of that fight and Jon’s belt.

[@cloudmamba5416]

jons belt rn is more valuble rn than if these other dudes had it they. you gotta be a star to be the best not someone who gets beat

Although he’ll probably beat Tom, he’ll never beat Jones. Jones would play with him like an orca plays with a seal before ripping it to shreds and devouring it.

[@KTRomero-lb2wp]

This dude is definitely pushing north of 6’5, no way he’s 6’3. He’s one of the occasional UFC fighter heights where they say a fighter is shorter than they actually are. Like for example, Leon is a solid 6’2 but they have him at 6’0

[@tony.5211]

Dickipedia says Leon is 6.0 while ESPN claims he is 6.2

I like this dude but he isn't fighting for the "real" title. Jones is the official champ and even his title is in doubt to people who love Francis.

[@AK99581]

At this point, Jones's belt means nothing. He refuses to defend it against anyone other than 42 yr old Stipe and he'll be retiring after that fight anyway. Can't let Jones being a diva hold up the division for another year.
