The UFC is bringing heavyweight power to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on February 1st as Sergei Pavlovich faces Jairzinho Rozenstruik at UFC Fight Night. Two top-10 heavyweights will clash under the lights of Kingdom Arena, offering fans a match that promises high-stakes action. Although not yet officially announced by the UFC, sources have confirmed the news, first reported by MMA Mania.
This upcoming fight marks a pivotal point in Sergei Pavlovich’s career. Currently 18-2 in MMA and 6-2 in the UFC, Pavlovich is seeking redemption following two tough losses. After a valiant attempt at the interim title against Tom Aspinall and a defeat at the hands of Alexander Volkov, Pavlovich is eager to end his two-fight skid. However, before these setbacks, he showcased a remarkable streak, finishing six straight opponents—all in the first round. With heavy hands and relentless energy, Pavlovich has proven he’s a force to be reckoned with.
Rozenstruik, on the other hand, is riding a wave of momentum. Known in the Octagon as "Bigi Boy," Rozenstruik has pieced together back-to-back wins, a significant shift from recent years. His triumphs over Shamil Gaziev in March and Tai Tuivasa at UFC 305 have re-established his presence in the division and put him back in the contender spotlight. This streak marks his first since 2019, signaling that “Bigi Boy” is ready to make waves at the top of the heavyweight ladder once again.
This February 1st face-off presents a defining moment for both fighters, as Pavlovich looks to reclaim his momentum, while Rozenstruik aims to solidify his resurgence. Given their records and powerful striking styles, fans can expect nothing short of a fireworks display in Riyadh. As Pavlovich and Rozenstruik prepare to bring their best, fight enthusiasts worldwide will be watching closely.
