Top UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan commented on Russian Sergei Pavlovich's victory over American Curtis Blaydes at UFC Fight Night 222 on April 23 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It was obvious to me that Sergei would beat Blaydes. I knew he was going to win by knockout. Good for him. But Pavlovich doesn't have many chances against Jones. The American is a very versatile fighter who knows how to keep his distance and he's a good fighter when it comes to wrestling. I think it's 70-30 in favor of Jones. But I would like to see Pavlovich knock him out. It is possible. In MMA, one punch can make all the difference.
