Pavlovich vs. Rozenstruik Preview
Pavlovich is still No.4 in the UFC heavyweight division and, according to the MMA odds, a huge favorite here. However, the way he lost the previous two events could question that. First, he suffered a harsh KO loss to Tom Aspinal before losing to his countryman, Alexander Volkov, who schooled him.
Right now, the heavy-handed Russian has 18 wins and three losses. Only three wins and one loss of his didn’t see a KO. Pavlovich is a very strong guy, but his flexibility and mobility in the ring are questionable. Apart from fighting in the stand up, he is very limited and one-dimensional.
Rozenstruik is a dominant kickboxer who switched to MMA. He had mixed success since joining the organization, yet we need to add that he fought all the best fighters, including Ngannou, dos Santos, Gane, Blaydes, Volkov, etc.
He won the previous event vs. Tai Tuivasa via split decision. It was his 15th in 20 matches and only the second via decision. All the others were via KO. Rozenstruik has a very strong punch, but he overexposes himself a lot.
