(ALSO SEE: Mick Maynard’s Shoes: What’s next for Sergei Pavlovich after UFC Fight Night 222 win?)

Curtis Blaydes faced a familiar type of disappointment on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 222 when he fell short in another title eliminator, this time against Sergei Pavlovich.

Blaydes (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) Sergei saw his three-fight winning streak come to an end when he was put away by Pavlovich (17-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) in a first-round TKO at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, derailing any short-term hopes he has of fighting for the belt.

It’s back to the drawing board for “Razor,” but what should come next? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Blaydes’ future after UFC Fight Night 222.
