No. 2 in the UFC heavyweight division rankings, Russian Sergei Pavlovich said in an interview with Telecomasia.net that American athletes consider him the favorite in his upcoming fight with Tom Aspinall.
- The atmosphere in our gym is kind and warm. After the fight with Curtis Blaydes, the guys come up to me and poke me: "Your time". That's the only kind of talk.
- Do you feel that this is your time?
- Of course. There is a reason I'm here, it's not like I spent two years resting somewhere and they suddenly told me to go for the belt. I've been working towards it step by step.
