Canadian UFC heavyweight Tanner Boser will step back into the octagon in December against Russian Sergei Pavlovich at UFC on ESPN 31.
Boser (20-8-1), 30, who hails from Bonyville, Alberta, recently snapped a two fight skid with a knockout win over Ovince St. Preux at UFC Vegas 30 in June.
Meanwhile, only blemish on the No. 15 Pavlovich’s record was a loss to Alistair Overeem in 2018. Since then, he’s finished his last two fights but hasn’t fought since October 2019.
