Pavlovich abandoned his style to play it safe

[Royce Greasy]

Just finished watching this and Pavlovich is falling into the common trap that many fighters who take a KO lost fall into, so now every fight is gonna take everything super cautious because you could get KO'd like against Tom Aspinall terrible strategy moving forward with his career, the truth is Pav could have destroyed Rozenstruit in the first round but instead plays it safe.


He won't be champion or have a chance against Aspinall with that strategy, more than likely will get finished by someone who isn't playing it safe trying to just scrape by, this is common fighters fight not to lose instead of winning.

Lay n praying should be banned by going to Bellator for two fights.

Got the job done.

 

[BigTruck]

Yeah that was pretty bad, when he had him down he did absolutely nothing to improve position or do any damage. I was very disappointed in him and he was clearly outclassing roszen on the feet and absolutely could have got the job but played it safe. I get it bc he lost back to back but damn man this fight did nothing for your stock.

 

[Versez]

Ngannou played a very safe style following his lost to stipe for their first fight, vintage pavlo will come back...

Bellator no longer exists

Rozen sometimes drags boring fights out of certain guys in defeat. Blaydes, Gane and now Sergei all had duds against him despite being ahead the entire time. Can't forget that Jair has like 89 KB fights and an 87% KO rate in MMA.

Exactly

 

[WildShrimper]

Jairzinho should also be blamed for doing nothing.

 

[JKS]

Very well played by Pav. Showed good fight IQ and strategy, well rounded game, patience and got the W that he needed. Went 3 rounds with no cardio issues.

Good win!!

Both are at fault tbh.

 

[VAfan]

he had to, and you could see it coming. two losses in a row, fighting an extremely dangerous striker - it was a put-the-wheels-back-on kind of fight, get the win any way you can. he fought a very smart fight, outduel him on the feet for half a round and then coast on the TD for the second half. personally i was just relieved he didn't look completely gunshy, that was the other distinct possibility.

 

[Brigfa2]

This was a white Ngannou with a PTSD

 

[NextGen]

Well, a loss here and his career would've been set back for years.

He did what he had to do to still stay relevant.

He'll probably be more like himself in his next fight.

You have this shitty take, but then also dislike Justin Gaethje for having an exciting fighting style.

WTF do you like?

It's crazy how he went from being "the guy to beat Jon Jones" a little over a year ago to people actually picking Rozenstruik to beat him on their Tapology cards.

 

[cws80us]

Remember when everybody on Sherdog thought this guy was a killer and the next HW goat? He was basically Aspinall before Aspinall. Now he's shooting takedowns and laying and praying his way to boring wins.

To be fair when two former sparring partners finally fight it turns out being a dud like this a lot of the time.

"You are banished to fight in the plane of non-existence, ya goof."

 

[gentel]

I think that it was smart of Pavlovich to box more technically and also grapple, doing this can make him more well-rounded and improve his chances in future fights

The crowd are clowns for booing and Roz is also at fault for the inactive stand-up and not having tdd
