Prior to these stoppage losses, Overeem was riding high on back-to-back wins over fellow legends Fabricio Werdum and Mark Hunt. These wins were preceded by a loss to the heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic. Overeem is 43-17 overall.<\/p>\n<p>Sergey Pavlovich, meanwhile, will be making his UFC debut with an impressive, unblemished record of 12-0. The majority of his career thus far has unfurled under the Fight Nights Global banner, where he captured the heavyweight title.
