Sergei Pavlovich made a statement at UFC Orlando by stopping Tai Tuivasa less than a minute into their main card heavyweight bout.
The Russian entered the matchup with a considerable amount of momentum after stopping Derrick Lewis in the opening minute of their fight at UFC 277 in July. Tuivasa wasn’t far removed from an impressive finishing streak of his own, but “Bam Bam” had come up short in his previous fight with Ciryl Gane.
As would be expected from the two hard-hitting heavyweights, things escalated early when Pavlovich started landing strikes and clearly hurt Tuivasa. The Australian did his best to work along the edge of the cage and throw back big punches as Pavlovich pursued him, but the Russian was able to easily avoid any counters while he continued landing his own strikes.
A bloodied Tuivasa eventually went down against the cage, and a few more follow-up punches from Pavlovich forced the referee to step in and end things.


Fighters React To Pavlovich’s Quick Finish
Pavlovich has now won five-straight fights by first-round finish, and a number of other UFC fighters reacted to his latest victory against Tuivasa.
