Alexander
\nVolkov<\/a> predicts a hilarious press conference exchange between
\nAlex
\nPereira<\/a> and Sergei
\nPavlovich<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pereira and Pavlovich are scheduled to collide in an
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> heavyweight matchup at UFC
\n335<\/a> on Dec. 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Given both
\nfighters\u2019 limited English, Volkov jokingly previewed the
\nback-and-forth between the Brazilian and the Russian.<\/p>\n

Volkov believes Sergei Pavlovich\u2019s power makes him a dangerous
\nstylistic matchup for Pereira<\/h2>\n

Jokes aside, Volkov believes Pavlovich is a bad stylistic matchup
\nfor Pereira. He predicts that his countryman\u2019s power will be too
\nmuch for \u201cPoatan\u201d to handle.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be a very awesome press conference with both of them,\u201d
\nVolkov told Helen Yee. \u201cOne of them will say, \u2018We\u2019ll see,\u2019 and the
\nother one will say, \u2018Chama.\u2019 But I see Alex
\nPereira<\/a> going on a losing streak because it\u2019s a very hard
\nmatchup for him. Pavlovich punches very hard. Considering
\n[Pereira\u2019s] style, it is a very bad matchup for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Volkov and Pavlovich (21-3) used to be friends and teammates,
\ntheir relationship soured leading up to their fight in 2024. Volkov
\ntried to bury the hatchet after his unanimous decision win, but
\nPavlovich remained visibly upset and shoved him away.<\/p>\n

Pavlovich has since racked up a three-fight winning streak.
\nMeanwhile, Pereira (13-4) moved up to heavyweight earlier this year
\nafter three successful light heavyweight title defenses. However,
\nhis heavyweight debut was spoiled by a technical knockout loss to
\nCiryl
\nGane<\/a> in an interim title fight at
\nUFC Freedom 250<\/a> in June.<\/p>\n

Volkov, meanwhile, returns at
\nUFC 333<\/a> on Oct. 24 in Abu Dhabi against Rizvan
\nKuniev<\/a>.<\/p>\n
