Sergei Pavlovich Already Back in Training, Throws Sparring Partner With Raw Power

Less than two weeks after his fight with Teixeira, Sergei Pavlovich has returned to the gym and left a strong impression in sparring. Heavyweight sparring partner Walter Walker described being picked up and slammed to the mat by Pavlovich through sheer physical strength rather than technique, saying the experience nearly left him unable to breathe. Walker completed six demanding rounds that session, two of them against Pavlovich.
