Pavlovich’s last loss was getting taken down and finished by Overeem. The same Overeem who had been taken down and finished by Blaydes the fight before. Every fight since then has only gone a few minutes. There are a lot of questions to be answered about his ground game.
Blaydes is a much more interesting opponent for Jones, he’s not gonna get taken down and instantly subbed like Gane.
True on not getting taken down quickly and subbed like Gane, but I think he would get taken down eventually, and pieced up in between, and not get a takedown.
His striking has improved a lot. Don’t think he could outstrike prime Jones but was not impressed with Jones’ striking his last few fights, barely scraping by a former middleweight with multiple leg injuries.
