Tom Aspinall vs Sergei Pavlovich Fight Announced for September 4th Event

News of this fight’s announcement was originally reported by UFC Europe. It’s since been relayed by other media outlets. The pair of heavyweights enter riding winning streaks, but only one will leave UFC Vegas 36 with their’s still intact.

Tom Aspinall vs Sergei Pavlovich

Tom Aspinall (10-2, 3-0 UFC) proudly represents Liverpool, England on the biggest stage. The 28-year-old currently trains at Team Kaobon alongside the likes of Darren Till and Mike Grundy. The owner of a BJJ black belt, Aspinall has learned the art chiefly under the guidance of his father, Andy.

Impressively, Aspinall has yet to go the distance in any of his pro fights. In fact, all of his victories have come via stoppage, and his lone defeat (that wasn’t a DQ) came via heel hook back in 2015. Since joining the UFC, Aspinall has looked the part of a future contender, going 3-0 with a couple of POTN bonuses to his name.

Sergei Pavlovich (14-1, 2-1 UFC) was thrown to the wolves upon entering the UFC, having to fight the legendary Alistair Overeem. Since his debut loss, Pavlovich has rattled off two straight opening-round finishes. However, the Russian product hasn’t competed since Oct. of 2019. Nevertheless, Pavlovich still has plenty of time to make a run up the ranks as he’s still just 29-years-old.

Currently, Pavlovich is making strides in his game at Undefeated Boxing Gym located in Upland, California. Fun fact, Pavlovich first began training hand-to-hand combat and sambo in the Russian army. Prior to that, he wrestled up until the 11^th grade.
