Sergei Pavlovich is considered one of the biggest hitters in a heavyweight division full of them, but Jairzinho Rozenstruik has an advantage going into Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 250 showdown.

Rozenstruik (15-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) meets Pavlovich (17-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) at RNC Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (ESPN+) in a matchup of top 10 heavyweights. Both men trained together for three years at American Top Team before going in separate directions, but those memories aren’t forgotten.
