Alex Pereira and Sergei Pavlovich Are Officially Colliding at UFC 335

The worst-kept secret in MMA is finally out of the group chat and onto the official poster. According to reporter Adam Martin, Alex Pereira is officially fighting Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 335.

This is the kind of matchmaking that makes you wonder if the UFC just wants to see what happens when two freight trains collide in a cage. You do not need to be a hardcore fight analyst to understand the stakes here.

"Adam Martin reported the fight as the 'worst-kept secret in MMA.'"

While we do not have the official odds or the full card details yet, we know both guys are currently healthy, active, and on a direct collision course. When the research is this thin on the exact date and venue, all you can do is brace for impact.

Pereira has made a career out of turning elite fighters into statues with his left hook. Pavlovich is basically a walking refrigerator who throws cinderblocks for hands. Putting them in the same Octagon is less of a sporting event and more of a structural integrity test for the canvas.

Bettors are going to have a field day trying to figure out who lands first. When you have two guys with this much stopping power, the over/under on rounds is probably going to look like a typo. Do not expect the judges to be necessary for this one.

Now we just wait for UFC 335 to actually get here. Until then, expect the training footage to look terrifying and the hype to reach completely unreasonable levels.
