‘I’ll wait’: Sergei Pavlovich to hold out for Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic winner after record KO streak

LAS VEGAS – Sergei Pavlovich has no intention of fighting again unless it’s for the UFC heavyweight title.

The result extended his UFC record for consecutive first-round knockouts to six, and there are already predictions from reputable MMA minds that he will claim gold.

He agrees that should be the case.
