The heavyweights came out swinging right after the bell, making it apparent that they had no desire to go into overtime. When Tuivasa attempted to counterpunch, Pavlovich floored him with a punch and rushed on the Australian.

A smashing right hand caused Tuivasa to lose the fight for the second time, and Pavlovich applied pressure to end it after only 54 seconds.
With five fights under his belt, Pavlovich has the UFC's longest current streak of knockouts.



Pavlovich, who entered the fight ranked sixth in the division, is making a compelling case to move up to the heavyweight division.
