Sergei Pavlovich vs Curtis Blaydes UFC Vegas 71: Date, Time, Channel, Live Streams, Odds & Card Posted on April 17, 2023 by Vaishnavi Andhare The heavyweight division of the UFC is seeing major developments. On April 22, a major contest between Sergei Pavlovich vs Curtis Blaydes has been scheduled as the show’s main event. The booking was verified to MMA Junkie by a source with knowledge of the circumstances in response to a report from UFC broadcast partner ESPN on Wednesday. In July, Blaydes (17-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) earned a TKO victory when Tom Aspinall injured his knee 15 seconds into the contest. His winning streak now stands at three. He had previously defeated Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Chris Daukaus. Blaydes is 7-1 in his past eight performances, with his lone loss a knockout defeat to Derrick Lewis in February 2021. In recent years, Pavlovich (17-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) has been dominating the category. The Russian boxer has won five straight matches by first-round knockout. Pavlovich hasn’t lost in five trips to the octagon since losing his UFC debut to Alistair Overeem in late 2018. The 30-year-old most recently defeated Tai Tuivasa at UFC on ESPN 42 in December in only 54 seconds. Heavyweight Contenders! Sergei Pavlovich vs Curtis Blaydes!
