UFC heavyweight contenders Curtis Blaydes and Sergei Pavlovich will square off in a high-stakes main event on April 22nd.
ESPN’s Brett Okamoto was the first to report the news of the Blaydes/Pavlovich fight. The venue and location for the April 22nd UFC Fight Night have yet to be finalized by the promotion.
After missing out on a fight for the now-vacant heavyweight title, Blaydes will get the next best thing in Pavlovich. Blaydes returns after three-straight wins, including most recently over Tom Aspinall last July.
Blaydes has also earned wins over Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Chris Daukaus since a knockout loss to Derrick Lewis in Feb. 2021. He’s won seven of his last eight fights overall.
Pavlovich has surged into the heavyweight title conversation with a five-fight winning streak. He most recently knocked out Tai Tuivasa in just 54 seconds last December at UFC Orlando.
Pavlovich has also earned wins over the likes of Lewis, Shamil Abduraghimov, and Marcelo Golm during his current run.
