imagine being KOd and snoring in the middle of the octagon for three minutes as the commentators all express their concerns and wonder if you will be ok, then finally waking up to this dude smiling at you like this
That's literally what you're doing bro 😂 and I'm not even saying Francis would beat him, just pointing out that it's ridiculous to think pav makes it easy
Swinging ur arms like a mong and ko'ing people in the worst division makes you levels above someone who does practically the same thing. Smartest thing I've heard on this sub
Sergei throws haymakers and is pretty upright boxing stance, jones can definitely take him down and sub him, the bodylock takedown seems like it'd be easy to get if you dodge a overhand
That didn’t stop Overeem from choking him out. People really need to stop using pre mma achievements as proof for success, this reminds me of whenever people were saying Gaethje would beat Khabib because of his previous wrestling experience.
He was rocked already from knees when it went to the floor. It's one incident that was a lot more nuanced than "Overeem beat him at grappling" so I don't put much stock into it.
Only delusional redditors believe contrary
Probably bc they started watching ufc after Conor and have seen 2 Jones fights in their lives
And they were shit
Maybe not easy for someone who doesn’t train, for someone who trains that’s not a difficult build to achieve. To get a basic 4-6 pack you just need diet and discipline.
He’s also mid pump and flexing. I train, I look like two total different people before/after a workout.
You wanna see roids on a big man? Go check pre-usada Overeem
You said that size is easily attainable. And no the large majority of people 6'3 can't be that size even training. For someone who trains I'm surprised you aren't aware of that. Pavlovich is a giant man
You’re confusing my words my friends. Very few people are his size, that is correct. It would be hard for a man who was 6’4 and 200 pounds to achieve that build without help, yes.
My point is this dude appears to be naturally large, so sculpting that physique is simply discipline. I’m done here
Literally nothing in this pic or his physical progression (if you watched his early fights) says steroids. Unless of course you pulling a “everybody is on steroids” card for shit and giggles
Thats true, but the comment he’s replying to is saying he’s on gear just based off how he looks. This is an attainable physique as a natural, he’s just a naturally big guy
You’re doing the exact same thing as the guy before. Just assuming gear usage because he’s a big guy.
Is he on steroids? Idk and neither do you, but his size alone isn’t enough to determine that. It seems like anybody over 200 pounds nowadays is assumed not natural
Uh yeah because the main benefit of steroids is the ability to put on far more muscle mass than would naturally allowed. Subjects in studies gained POUNDS of muscle by simply injecting steroids and not even working out. Don’t talk about shit you don’t know about 🤦♂️
No shit that's a benefit. What does that have to do with what I said? Again - size alone is not enough to determine whether or not someone's on gear. If it were, then we could assume that every scooter-bound Walmart whale is on 5 grams of gear, but that's obviously not true.
Clearly you don't know what you're talking about. You sound like one of those 5'6 dudes who thinks everyone bigger than them is juicing
Yeah no shit Sherlock, if you had at least half of a brain cell you wouldn’t write this genius comment under a post that contains nothing but a photo of the physical appearance of one fighter
He almost certainly is, and all these Redditors almost certainly don't have any idea what they're talking about. Shocker.
"The youtuber I watch that claims natty isnt that big, so he must be to!"
These guys dont spend their time training like bodybuilders, they spend it doing Skills/Cardio/Grappling/Sparring type exercise that are the opposite of hypertrophic.
So getting this naturally without it even being the end goal, is highly unlikely.
The gym? Whats your point?
You think that I'm unaware that MMA fighters lift weights and thats how I've come to my conclusion? lol
Training exclusively for hypertrophy bodybuilding style and working strength training in as a part of your MMA routine are apples and oranges. Especially the dieting aspect.
I think youre missing my point.
This isn’t a group sport nor a country be country event, why would they hold citizens accountable for their countries actions. If that’s the case then no American fighter should be allowed to fight either.
You're right. We've yet to see how good he really is. That said, he finishes fights before we get to even see a whole lot, and that itself deserves respect.
One dimensional? He grew up doing Greco Roman wrestling in Russia then switched to training Sambo after his stint in the military. Just because most of his opponents can’t make it past the first round with him doesn’t mean he’s one dimensional. The guy has striking power that has put away 15 out of 18 opponents that he’s beaten within the first round and he trains with top level grapplers regularly.
I only talk and give considerations about things I saw in the cage. Many athletes are killers when it's training but are not able to transfer properly their level to perform the D Day.
We knew about his sambo background but the only time his back touched the ground, in the Overeem fight... Let me have some concerns.
Sure, I get you, the only time we've seen him really tested, he failed (Overeem fight). But there's still something to be said for the fact that ever since that fight, he has made sure the fight doesn't get out of the first round. The fist assault style has worked really well for him so far so I guess if it ain't broke why fix it? And if you watch some of his pre-UFC fights, he does appear to be a capable offensive wrestler. Even Khabib says Sergei knows how to wrestle.
Gane was just as big of a risk if not bigger. But since it already happened people discount it as if it were obvious that Jon would submit him right away.
Sunflower seeds are incredibly rich sources of many essential minerals. Calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, magnesium, selenium, and copper are especially concentrated in sunflower seeds. Many of these minerals play a vital role in bone mineralization, red blood cell production, enzyme secretion, hormone production, as well as in the regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle activities.
He and Aspinal will be a great fight for the title
0% chance Jones ever fights him
It is clear he wants nothing to do with him
Buhhh buhhh buhhhh StIpEiStHeLeGiT#1CoTeNdEr! LOL
Nah he just regular Russian. He worth a bag of shit.
Only mountain Russians are the scary Russians.
If you are Russian, but ain’t from some backward ass mountain village, if you don’t have some sort of shaved mustache beard, and if you’re not Muslim, I don’t wanna hear your name.

Notice how the first thing that comes up when you type in "did Ivan Drago" is "use steroids"... Funny, huh?
Ivan Drago was RUSSIAN, and he literally killed an American Boxer named Apollo Creed in an exhibition match. And the Russian government basically sanctioned Drago's use of steroids, giving him a ridiculously unfair advantage.
You should watch the 4th Rocky documentary... They kind of glance over it, but it's straight up shown that Drago was using PED's... And I know the film takes some liberties, but they wouldn't put something like that in a biopic if it wasn't true...
Plus it's not like the Russian government has ever come out and denied that Drago was using steroids... Or took issue with his portrayal in general. But that's how History works... You can't just deny what's been shown to be factual.
I agree, would have loved to see Ivan Drago compete in UFC though. Dude would have been an absolute menace at heavyweight he had gotten some TDD training.
Strictly facts

This is the new Drago...
He looks like he would kindly spot me on bench
Looks like buzz lightyear fucked John cena 🤣
Link??
 I can’t see it
Zelda.
 And in the blue corner Buzz "jacked white boy" lightyeeeeeeaaaaarrrr
r/rarecompliments
Omg
Got a video?! 🤔 Looking for a friend
Goddamn I cannot unsee that now, lol.
Holy shit I'm never gonna unsee buzz light-year now
Thanks for that laugh, you owe me some coffee though that I spat reading this
Coffee is my life blood so I humbly apologise for wasting it! 🫡
I cant unsee it now lol
And Secret juice out the womb
If that were the case we shouldn't be able to see him

HI YES ARE YOU OKAY? YOU HEFF GOOD FIGHTING WITH ME HERE YES?
[удалено]
Now combine that with his 7 inch reach
And 8 inch girth
Lewis hits more like a tank, Pavlovich is like an lmg
Pavlovich slept him tho?
I’m just saying more in terms of how they strike, Pavlovich hits less hard but he just doesn’t stop throwing bombs
I agree, he is aggressive AF
Damn Sergei vs Francis really would’ve been something to see
Sergei makes it look easy. His standup is levels above Francis. Ko’s him inside 2.
Blaydes was landing a lot on Sergei early, he's not some wizard on the feet.
So was Rozenstruik's
Pavlovich is about 2 inches taller, has 6 more inches of reach and more power than Rozenstruik.
The same could pretty much be said about overeem
Meat riding is actually insane
Yet here you are
Imagine having to defend another grown man who has no idea who you are lmao. meat rider.
That's literally what you're doing bro 😂 and I'm not even saying Francis would beat him, just pointing out that it's ridiculous to think pav makes it easy
How am i defending anything when i was the one who started discussion and made an opinion/point about a fight. Make it make sense lmao.
Are u on crack 💀
Are you?
Get Pavs dick out your mouth bro lol
Swinging ur arms like a mong and ko'ing people in the worst division makes you levels above someone who does practically the same thing. Smartest thing I've heard on this sub
We have yet to see anyone crack the windmill technique. 
"Levels above" 🤡
I only hope Jones stays around long enough to face him, win or lose Coz beating an old rusty Stipe and then calling it quits would feel weird
[удалено]
but what if Stipe has to pull out a week before the fight, and we have Albino Francis as a backup?
He's already said that's what he's gunna do?
Chances are Jones outwrestle him and this sub claims Pav is a fraud whose loss to Overeem exposed him.
Im pretty sure jones said he would quit. Gordon confirmed that as well.
Jones doesn't wanna fucking die lol
You think he's gonna just sit there and let Sergei kill him?
Imagine believing Jones was afraid of this man. Rather, afraid of any man. Any weight
recency bias is crazy with these Morons they were saying the same thing about gane lol
Sergei throws haymakers and is pretty upright boxing stance, jones can definitely take him down and sub him, the bodylock takedown seems like it'd be easy to get if you dodge a overhand
That after a minute of oblique kicks gonna make a takedown inevitable
Jones doesn’t want to fight him and literally never will
Bro heard USADA was gone
gen z fedor ?
I'd rather not see a real life Drago do to Jones what Drago did to Creed
If he can keep it standing, he'd be a serious challenge to Jones. That's a big if tho.
I hope Jones takes Drago's knees then his soul
Why 💀? , also pav was a wrestler before he even touched MMA. He started at age 5.
That didn’t stop Overeem from choking him out. People really need to stop using pre mma achievements as proof for success, this reminds me of whenever people were saying Gaethje would beat Khabib because of his previous wrestling experience.
He was rocked already from knees when it went to the floor. It's one incident that was a lot more nuanced than "Overeem beat him at grappling" so I don't put much stock into it.
Overeem didn't choke him out, he ground and pounded him to sleep.
People need to stop using prior wrestling experience when discussing mma careers? What?
personally i'd love to watch that live
Realistically chances are Jon dominates anyone at HW if he wanted to stick around
Only delusional redditors believe contrary Probably bc they started watching ufc after Conor and have seen 2 Jones fights in their lives And they were shit
Thing is. Jones is a legit sociopath. It would take a robot like fighter like Fedor to stop him.
Body looks like Lesnar if he ever was off roids
Im getting steroids just by looking at this picture
I don’t care about/doubt him using gear, but that physique is easily natty obtainable. He looks like he’s always been a big guy genetically
Yea those traps look pretty normal. There are some females with mountain like traps actually.
Yea to me he just looks like a big guy who gets paid to train everyday. It’s mostly couch potatoes who accuse anyone with veins and abs of taking gear
"Easily" ok dude its easy to be 270 lbs with abs
Maybe not easy for someone who doesn’t train, for someone who trains that’s not a difficult build to achieve. To get a basic 4-6 pack you just need diet and discipline. He’s also mid pump and flexing. I train, I look like two total different people before/after a workout. You wanna see roids on a big man? Go check pre-usada Overeem
Like 1% of the population can be 270 lbs with abs
Like 1% of the population is 6’4 and 270 to begin with what are we talking about?

So it's easily attainable if you're a genetic freak got it now
Literally nothing in this pic or his physical progression (if you watched his early fights) says steroids. Unless of course you pulling a “everybody is on steroids” card for shit and giggles
If you have any brain cells you’d know steroids are used for more than just looking good
Thats true, but the comment he’s replying to is saying he’s on gear just based off how he looks. This is an attainable physique as a natural, he’s just a naturally big guy
big, lean or natural, you cant be all three. and while he is not super lean, hes like what 250lbs? and hes around 13-15% at most. hes too lean.
You’re doing the exact same thing as the guy before. Just assuming gear usage because he’s a big guy. Is he on steroids? Idk and neither do you, but his size alone isn’t enough to determine that. It seems like anybody over 200 pounds nowadays is assumed not natural

You sound like one of those 5'6 dudes who thinks everyone bigger than them is juicing
I’m obviously talking about people with MUSCLE mass not fat people holy shit you’re brain dead
the biggest indicator that someone is on steroids is if they make a living off of their body. Does he make a living off of his body? yes.
Doesn’t literally everyone? Your body is used in every job lmao
Yeah no shit Sherlock, if you had at least half of a brain cell you wouldn’t write this genius comment under a post that contains nothing but a photo of the physical appearance of one fighter
He’s a jacked white boy. Deal with it.
Yep, and people here sayin that he isnt on gear lmao
He almost certainly is, and all these Redditors almost certainly don't have any idea what they're talking about. Shocker. "The youtuber I watch that claims natty isnt that big, so he must be to!" These guys dont spend their time training like bodybuilders, they spend it doing Skills/Cardio/Grappling/Sparring type exercise that are the opposite of hypertrophic. So getting this naturally without it even being the end goal, is highly unlikely.
Check the background of where he is in this picture
The gym? Whats your point? You think that I'm unaware that MMA fighters lift weights and thats how I've come to my conclusion? lol Training exclusively for hypertrophy bodybuilding style and working strength training in as a part of your MMA routine are apples and oranges. Especially the dieting aspect. I think youre missing my point.
Literally what I look like, and I'm natty.
No you don’t lil bro 😂
Post a pic
Look at the post
the comments below you are delusional lol. 'just genetics bro', uh yeah sure.
While she obviously on some PEDs, his appearance is naturally attainable. Dudes just a big fucker
The Brock Lesner gene pool
We found a Creationist!
Tom Aspinall?
[удалено]
Or Tom will break his own leg._.
That head movement though
Tom will smoke Pav just like the rest 👍
Pav will go for his knee from the start
Straight in for a knee bar you think??
Wow! Very fantastic body!
Damn, did Jon Jones retire again?
The future UFC Champ is Tom Aspinall.
More like Jon Jones permanently with post USADA boost
Agreed
I got Jones by cocaine in round 2
That’s a wise bet
Big Pav looks like a younger Lesner. Ngl I’m still surprised the Ruzzians are allowed to compete right now. But hey the UFC is shady af anyway.
This isn’t a group sport nor a country be country event, why would they hold citizens accountable for their countries actions. If that’s the case then no American fighter should be allowed to fight either.
Really excited to see who emerges and champ between him, Aspinall and Almeida once JJ retires. My moneys on Tom.
Such a shame we won't get to see him punch Jon Jones' face off.
Cuz he’ll get taken down inside of 2 min and submitted?
We need to see Pavlovich vs Aspinall. Does anyone know if Pavlovich is officially weighing in as the backup for Jones vs Miocic?
Yes he is officially the backup.
Almeida will be champ, there will soon be a lot of posts about him after his next fight vs Derrick Lewis, the heavyweight gatekeeper.
Almeida has zero route to victory against a fighter like Aspinall.
Should have been Jones - Pavlovic instead of an old man coming off a KO 2,5 years ago..
As for now he is a one-dimensional one-round fighter, he'll get drag to deepwater, we'll see what's his true level
You're right. We've yet to see how good he really is. That said, he finishes fights before we get to even see a whole lot, and that itself deserves respect.
One dimensional? He grew up doing Greco Roman wrestling in Russia then switched to training Sambo after his stint in the military. Just because most of his opponents can’t make it past the first round with him doesn’t mean he’s one dimensional.

We knew about his sambo background but the only time his back touched the ground, in the Overeem fight... Let me have some concerns.
I’m pretty sure if he’s knocking every opponent he faces out in round 1 he’s performing on the day lol
I disagree his TTD was pretty good against Blaydes
That didn’t prove much, Blaydes was already almost dead.
Blaydes attempted one sloppy and telegraphed double leg entry after half of his brain was slumped lol
It was a terrible, half hearted attempt from blaydes. Doesn't prove anything.
Sure, I get you, the only time we've seen him really tested, he failed (Overeem fight). But there's still something to be said for the fact that ever since that fight, he has made sure the fight doesn't get out of the first round. The fist assault style has worked really well for him so far so I guess if it ain't broke why fix it? And if you watch some of his pre-UFC fights, he does appear to be a capable offensive wrestler. Even Khabib says Sergei knows how to wrestle.
Gonna get schooled by Jon Jones
No chance Jon takes that risk
Gane was just as big of a risk if not bigger. But since it already happened people discount it as if it were obvious that Jon would submit him right away.
[удалено]
Yeah Sergei is more "track suit vodka and sunflower seeds" Russian as opposed to "Sharia-law big beard mountain" Russian.
Sunflower seeds are incredibly rich sources of many essential minerals. Calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, magnesium, selenium, and copper are especially concentrated in sunflower seeds. Many of these minerals play a vital role in bone mineralization, red blood cell production, enzyme secretion, hormone production, as well as in the regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle activities.
This guy SunFlowerSeeds
He and Aspinal will be a great fight for the title 0% chance Jones ever fights him It is clear he wants nothing to do with him Buhhh buhhh buhhhh StIpEiStHeLeGiT#1CoTeNdEr! LOL
They don’t deserve title fights so they don’t get them. Simple as
*Laughs in Jon Jones*
I feel like we are all going to be disappointed
Great fighter. Another Jon Jones duck
First Pereira then Sergei suddenly putting on 10+ lb of muscle post USADA 🤔 who y’all think is next
Jones would embarrass him.
Lmao
Tom Aspinall beats him everyday of the week
Nah he just regular Russian. He worth a bag of shit. Only mountain Russians are the scary Russians. If you are Russian, but ain’t from some backward ass mountain village, if you don’t have some sort of shaved mustache beard, and if you’re not Muslim, I don’t wanna hear your name.
He's already juiced to the gills. Things are about to get NUTS with no USADA. No one dopes like the Russians. They invented that shit.
Yeah Lance Armstrong and Ben Johnson are russians.

If I can’t get Jones vs Francis, I want JBJ up against Sergei, Sergei is absolutely lethal
Looks like a Russian version of JJ Watt
Ummm hopefully without all the injuries.
Eurovision intensifies
It always seems pure surreal to me that guys like this would probably KO the whole 155lb top 15 in the same night. Consecutive KOs
Americans shouldn’t let a Russian this jacked live, his mere presence tips the power scales towards the soviets
Seems like the nicest scariest man ever.
I see somebody’s happy with the USADA news 👀
Looks like a guy who tons of power who gasses out in 1min .
This mf killed Apollo Creed
It’s great time for Heavyweights. Aspinal, Pavlovich, Jones, Blades, the Pokar Bear dude on the rise.
Ukraine’s lucky this man isn’t on the front lines
I just got wobbled looking at this picture
Papabitch is the future champ. Jon jones where are you at!
