Sergei Pavlovich and Curtis Blaydes will clash in a UFC Fight Night main event this weekend, with the winner likely to establish himself as the next heavyweight title challenger.
Pavlovich (17-1) is ranked third in the division, and he enters Las Vegas having won his last five fights with knockouts in the first round. In December, the Russian stopped Tai Tuivasa in 54 seconds, five months after beating Derrick Lewis in 55 seconds.
