Heavyweights Tanner Boser, Sergei Pavlovich to Meet at UFC Fight Night on Dec. 4

Tanner Boser will lock horns with Sergei Pavlovich in a heavyweight matchup at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on Dec. 4.

Pavlovich confirmed the booking on social media following an initial report from TSN. The UFC Fight Night card is expected to take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is topped by a bantamweight clash between Jose Aldo and Rob Font.

Boser snapped a two-bout skid in his last outing, when he knocked out Ovince St. Preux in the second-round at UFC Fight Night 190. The 30-year-old Canadian is 4-3 during his tenure with the Las Vegas-based promotion and 20-8-1 as a professional overall.

Pavlovich will look to return to action after having a 2020 booking against Ciryl Gane fall through due to injury and a September matchup with Tom Aspinall canceled as a result of visa issues. The Eagles MMA representative suffered a first-round TKO defeat to Alistair Overeem in his Octagon debut but has since rebounded to post first-round KO/TKO wins over Marcelo Golm and Maurice Greene.
