Sergei Pavlovich has trained with many top grapplers for years. Yet we have not seen his skill set

[ServantofGOD]

From his wikipedia page he grew up wrestling and has trained at Akhmat gym and with Cormier before

""At the age of 5, Pavlovich began to engage in Greco-Roman wrestling under the guidance of coach Alexander Fedorovich Aloyan. He was engaged in wrestling until the 11th grade. After serving in the army, he began to engage in army hand-to-hand fighting and combat sambo.[6]""

Any guess how his grappling may be?

This is like 4 years old but I keep fucking posting it because I'm a psycho

Turn your volume up and listen to the god damn GnP

Why grapple when you can club someone about the head and neck relentlessly?

Because Curtis Blaydes.

Turtles up after 2 shots?

Definitely someone who wont instantly break after eating a hard shot from Ngannou or Gane.

Gane is one of the worst grapplers ever @ HW its not likely he will get top position on Pavlovich.

Incredible fight from Overeem. The clinch work is pure art, and the GnP...nasty.

 

[spinup]

Gane is one of the worst grapplers ever .

Not even close. He is above average at HW.

was super stoked for Overeem getting that W, that fight was after getting murdered by Ngannou and brutalized by Blaydes back to back

 

[MigitAs]

He looks really good lately but Overeem destroyed him so that leaves questions unanswered.

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

Gane is one of the worst grapplers ever @ HW its not likely he will get top position on Pavlovich.

So the guy with more subs in the UFC than any other Top 15 HW is one of the worst grapplers ever?

<45>

Im sorry finding out that Pavlovich breaks after 2 GNP shots was so triggering to you.

 

[MigitAs]

Not even close. He is above average at HW.

He got out-grappled by Francis with a bum knee who never did that to anyone before…
That being said I think he was also hesitant on the feet with Francis because he has felt his power and knows it’s no joke.

Lmao not at all. Why because he landed a heel hook in the 3rd of a fight he was dominating?

Gane's TDs are shite. He has a 20% accuracy. Couldn't get Lewis, Boser or Volkov down who all have horrendous TDD. Went 2/14 on TDs against a kickboxer in Rozenstruik and couldn't even control him as Jairzinho got back up immediately from both TDs. The only fight where Gane's grappling and TDs looked good was against Don'Tale Mayes

Francis with a torn MCL and partially torn ACL outgrappled Gane and looked like Gable Steveson lmaoooo. There is only an illusion that Gane is a good grappler since the division is at an all time low in submission grappling ability when you have low level one dimensional brawlers and strikers like Tai, Lewis, Daukaus, Rozenstruik, Pavlovich in the top 10.

So the guy with more subs in the UFC than any other Top 15 HW is one of the worst grapplers ever?

You cant be this braindead. The level of grappling at HW has been dogshit for years. Gane having more subs (against regional level HWs) than the likes of Francis, Derrick Lewis, Tai Tuivasa, Rozenstruik, Chris Daukauas, Volkov, Stipe etc. means absolutely nothing. We're not talking a HW division that has good submission grapplers and talent in that aspect it hasnt in over a decade. And Gane doesnt even have the most subs in the UFC out of any top 15 HW right now so the point is wrong anyways

Espino (42yo and took like 7 years off in MMA before returning randomly lmao), Romanov, Spivak, Jailton (really a LHW) and Aspinall are the only competent submission grapplers at UFC HW right now and Espino is probably done fighting. Shot Shamil and Ivanov are still somehow ranked and among the best grapplers today lmaoooo

Overeem is the most well rounded Heavyweight ever. Losing to a seasoned Veteran Overeem is not that bad let alone in your first MMA fight. Also rewatch the fight, Overeem was getting outstruck and beaten to the punch until he caught Sergei and then he triped him to the ground.

He looks really good lately but Overeem destroyed him so that leaves questions unanswered.

Gane is a good cage wrestler with some submissions, not a great one, but its still significantly more ability than Pavlovich has shown. He made some technical mistakes against Ngannou, who had been working on his offensive and defensive grappling since he lost to Stipe, thats not a bad loss and it doesn't mean he cant out grapple 99% of UFC HWs.

Pavlovich breaking quickly against Overeem is a real and legitimate critique. He is still very good and quite capable of beating Gane/Ngannou but pretending he is an invincible one punch knockout artist is not in line with demonstrated reality no matter how much some fanboys may wish it.

To his credit Francine grappling has improved a lot. He can get takedowns based on his power and can lay and pray based on his weight. He knew he was fighting the way superior striker and he needed to hug him for his dear life.
Ngannou also outgrappled Miocic in the rematch.

 

[Vile]

Greco Roman is super limited grappling art, so I have no high expectations of Pavlovich's grappling skills.

 

[Dorkman]

Because Curtis Blaydes.

Curtis blaydes is indeed a good one
