Former UFC double champion Henry Cejudo revealed who he thinks will prevail in the clash between Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall at UFC 295 in New York (USA).
Cejudo said on his Youtube channel:
I’m going for the Russian. I think Sergei is a lot more agile. I think he brings a lot more power. I think Tom is good, I think Tom’s footwork could be a little problematic, but there’s something about Russians that they just come from a great school of technique, of the school of combat. For that reason, I got to go with Sergei. There’s a lot of hype with him. He’s got knockout power. … For that reason at heavyweight, you got to go with power.
