Sergei Pavlovich , it seems, already has a fight scheduled in the UFC and has received a rather unusual boost. Coming off a victory over Tallison Xicão at UFC Shanghai , the Russian giant will have a sparring session with the Brazilian himself to prepare for his next fight. At least that's what his training partner, Valter Walker , claims.
In a post on X, Valter Walker revealed that Pavlovich will have a new meeting with Xicão in training. According to the Brazilian, the two will perform a sparring session at GOR MMA next Thursday (1).
"Russão has a fight scheduled with... Xicão, Thursday there's sparring at GOR MMA.", wrote Valter Walker.

Serguei Pavlovich may face Alex Poatan in the UFC.
With Ciryl Gane scheduled to face Josh Hokit in the main event of UFC 334, set for June 14th, rumors have begun to circulate that Alex Poatan and Sergei Pavlovich may face each other in the Ultimate Fighting Championship octagon. This is because both the Brazilian and the Russian are without clear options at the top of the heavyweight division (up to 120,2 kg).
Johnny Walker opens up about his heavyweight debut at UFC 332.
