UFC Fight Night will return with a clash between two of the top fighters in the heavyweight division.
The UFC has a stacked month ahead of them in April as they already are making their return to Miami, Florida. They now have a title eliminator in the heavyweight division with the main event for a UFC Fight Night card on April 22nd.
After somewhat of a lackluster first couple months of the new year, the UFC has been putting together great fight after great fight after great fight for future events in the early portion of quarter 2 of 2023.
They just announced a clash between two of the best heavyweights on the roster. No. 3-ranked Sergei Pavlovich will take on No. 4-ranked Curtis Blaydes in the main event at UFC Fight Night set to take place on April 22nd.
Blaydes Looking For Heavyweight Title Shot
Blaydes has been looking for the next man up for a chance at the heavyweight title. With back-to-back TKO victories, he has set himself up to take on the very dangerous Sergei Pavlovich.
Pavlovich came off a long layoff to cement himself right back into the thick of things with a knockout over Shamil Abdurakhimov. Since then he’s had two more knockouts over standouts inside the top 10 in Derrick Lewis and Tai Tuivasa.
Now, he has his eyes set on a fourth consecutive finish as he takes on Curtis Blaydes.
