Pereira and Pavlovich react to their UFC 335 heavyweight
matchup
Both Pereira (13-4) and Pavlovich (21-3) took to Instagram to react
to their confirmed matchup at UFC 335. Pereira shared an
AI-generated video following the announcement, captioning the post:
“See you soon.”
“Poatan” enters the matchup after suffering a second-round
technical knockout loss to Ciryl Gane
at
UFC Freedom 250 in June in his UFC heavyweight debut.
Pavlovich responded on his own Instagram account with a similarly
brief message: “Back in action soon.”
Pavlovich enters the matchup on a three-fight winning streak. The
Russian most recently knocked out Tallison
Teixeira in 39 seconds at UFC Macau, earning his first stoppage
victory since April 2023.
