Tallison The 6-foot-7 Brazilian has won two of his first three appearances \u201cHe is third in the heavyweight rankings, but I trained with Alex, \u201cWithout a doubt, it was the best camp of my life. I know Pavlovich
\nTeixeira<\/a> will have a chance to make a significant move in the
\nheavyweight divison is he defeat Sergei
\nPavlovich<\/a> at
\nUFC Macau<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\nin the promotion, but he faces a tall task against Pavlovich, who
\nis third in the
\nUFC<\/a>\u2019s official heavyweight rankings. With 11 fights in the UFC
\nand only three losses \u2014 to Alistair
\nOvereem<\/a>, Alexander
\nVolkov<\/a> and Tom
\nAspinall<\/a> \u2014 Pavlovich is a strong betting favorite at -650. That
\nunderdog status does not worry the Brazilian, who did his entire
\ncamp with Glover
\nTeixeira<\/a> and Alex
\nPereira<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u2018Thank God He Didn\u2019t Connect\u2019<\/h2>\n
\nwho is one of the greatest in the sport, which gave me a lot of
\nconfidence for this fight,\u201d \u201cXic\u00e3o\u201d said in an appearance on the
\n“Overdogs Brasil\u201d podcast<\/a>. \u201cGlover has always
\nbeen a reference for me in grappling, and Alex is beyond words. In
\nour sparring, he threw some hands that I felt like God was trying
\nto pull me away. Thank God he didn’t connect.<\/p>\n
\nis dangerous, but I’m very confident.\u201d<\/p>\n
