Sergei Pavlovich vs. Tom Aspinall: Michael Bisping predicts one clear winner
Watch UFC 295 on ESPN+ PPV (US only)
UFC legend Michael Bisping believes that there is one obvious winner when it comes to this weekend's interim heavyweight title clash between Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall.
The two meet in the co-main event of UFC 295, and while it is a fight which got put together on short notice, this contest has the potential to be a classic.
Pavlovich and Aspinall are fighters who, more often than not, finish their opponents within the scheduled distance, and fans can expect similar strategies to be adopted at Madison Square Garden.
For the winner, the interim heavyweight title will push them towards a fight with the champion Jon Jones at some point in 2024, and Bisping has predicted that it will be Aspinall who will be in this position come the end of UFC 295 and he is expecting the win to come in style.
"Bet your house on it. 1000% Tom Aspinall goes out there and beats Sergei Pavlovich and makes it look relatively easy and hardly breaks a sweat just like he did against Marcin Tybura," Bisping stated to Betway.
"Granted, this is a step up in competition, which Tom knows, but I'll call the finish right now: In and out, in and out, jab, jab, one-two, double leg takedown, that's a wrap.
"Then me and Tom Aspinall are sitting in New York on Sunday with his dad and with the team, we're having beers."
