Sergei Pavlovich extended the longest first-round knockout streak in modern UFC history on Saturday when he put away perennial contender Curtis Blaydes early in the UFC Fight Night 222 main event.
Pavlovich (17-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) showed once again that his power is not to be trifled with when he hurt Blaydes (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) in the heavyweight headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas before finishing the job for the first-round TKO.
