UFC Orlando gets Tai Tuivasa vs. Sergei Pavlovich as co-headliner

Tai Tuivasa will return to the Octagon for one more appearance this year.

Farah Hannoun of MMA Junkie reports that Tuivasa and Sergei Pavlovich are expected to serve as the co-headliner of UFC Orlando, the upcoming Fight Night event scheduled for Dec. 3 at the Amway Center in Orlando, Fla.

Tuivasa was on a five-fight win streak that included ‘Performance of the Night’ awarded finishes of Greg Hardy, Augusto Sakai, and Derrick Lewis before it was snapped by Ciryl Gane at UFC Paris this past September. Despite being the first fighter to knock Gane down, ‘Bam Bam’ would be finished by third-round KO after ‘Bon Gamin’ recovered and rallied in the all-action affair.
