Media New Pavlovich interview

[SerbianSteel]

Pavlovich did an interview with a Russian sports tv station last night.

Cliffs:
- he wasn't surprised by anything Volkov did and felt his corner was giving him the correct advice, but that the fight didn't go his way. Didn't click for him essentially
- he's open to and keen on a rematch
- he slightly regrets shoving Volkov, but doesn't like the way Volkov acted
- he mostly seems pissed about the meme song Volkov posted that (very mildly and inoffensively) made fun of Pavlovich's surname
- didn't seem too hung up that Volkov accepted the Rus v Rus fight, more pissed about Volkov's jokes

What was the jokes?

What was the jokes?

Volkov posted an innocent meme song insinuating that reptilians were pitting Slavic heroes to fight each other. That video made fun of Pavlovich's name, but not in an offensive way.

He also claimed that when they sparred together, Pavlovich won every round and KOd Volkov with every hit. Volkov said Pavlovich is a superior physical specimen, that Volkov can only beat him in yoga and that his only chance in the fight was luck.

Nothing offensive but Pavlovich didn't appreciate it lol. He seems like a simple guy who just trains and not much else

Why yes Mr Pavlovich I will have some salt for my fries lol

 

[fortheo]

Both guys still claim the other accepted the fight first. UFC tricked them lol

Pavlovich became a little salty after the Aspinall fight. Throw in the Volkov fight (Whom I picked to win). Pavlovich went from 1st KO everybody after his UFC debut. To losing two in a row. That has to really suck, I imagine.

The narrative seemed to be that these guys were much closer than they actually are.

And it’s an individual sport.

Image Cyborg vs Amanda never happened because they come from the same country of 215M people (Brazil).

Then there’s Usman, and Izzy both from the same country of 218M people (Nigeria) refused to fight. The WORST excuse I’ve ever heard for ducking a Super Fight.

Edit.

Added the Super Fight stuff.

Or one of them is right. If it was UFC's fault im sure they're managers would fill them in.

All I know is that before the fight I was rooting for Pavlovich and was way more of his fan than Volkov who I found too bland.
After this fight the roles reversed for me.

War sharp, witty, combed Volkov.

The fight showed Pavlovich's limitations. He's basically Todd Duffee 2.0. He has a better chin & is a better fighter than Duffee, but is a basic sprawl-n-brawler who puts most of his hope in an early KO. I thought he might get some TDs with his "Greco" background but he had no interest in that. He'll continue to lose to more technical strikers unless he can get the 1st round KO.

Volcomb is too stylish for Pav

#metoo sir lol

 

[CieloLuce]

I guess having that 1-1 talk with vodka is off the table.

 

[JoeRowe]

Apsinall KO had him trying to be more technical, but it took away his best & only skill which is relentless aggression & power.

We've seen similar transitions by Paulo Costa post-Izzy tko, as well as Johnny Walker post-Corey tko.

If he's they are going to go for broke, then they in fact are themselves broken.

The interview is in Russian, and the subtitles are in a Cyrillic of some sort, so what was the point of posting the video? And yet, people are commenting on here as if the video isn't 100% gobbledegook to them.....is there a way to view this with an English translation that I haven't figured out yet?

The translation is horrible though, really bad, but better than nothing I guess.
