Elsewhere, Sergei Pavlovich notched his first Octagon victory in style, earning a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” award for a knockout of Marcelo Golm in a featured heavyweight affair. Pavlovich wobbled his foe with an overhand right early, followed up with a flurry against the fence and sealed the victory with an uppercut just 66 seconds after the bout began.
Finally, Magomed Mustafaev captured the card’s other $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check with a spectacular finish of Rafael Fiziev in the opening bout of the event. Mustafaev set his victory in motion with a spinning back kick to the jaw, and from there, a series of punches brought an end to the fight 86 seconds after it began.
