Oliver Pastor vs Sergej Grechico On Top 4 Preview

This international bought in the featherweight division could very well be fight of the night. Below we take a look at each fighter and summarise with how we see the fight going.

Sergej Grechico

Nationality: Lithuanian

Team : Knight of Plunge

Record: 10-4-1

Notable wins: Masahiro Oishi, Owen Roddy, John Cullen, Marcos Nardini

Last five: WLLWW

European Ranking: Groundandpound.de: 4th@featherweight

Active in the pro game since 2005 Sergej returns to Scotland following his decision victory over the BJJ black belt Marcos Nardini at On Top 2. He has also since recorded a victory against Russian Magomed Muhumaev.

Despite losing 2 of his last 4 it’s worth noting Grecicho hasn’t been stopped since a 2006 Submission loss to Arsen Temirkhanov and his two recent losses came against GroundandPound.de’s number 1 and 2 ranked featherweights, Tom Ninimaki and Jason Young.

Oliver Pastor

Nationality: French

Team: Pythagore

Record: 14-7

Notable wins: John Cullen, Bobby Mcvittie, Mamour Fall

Last five:LWWWW

Eurpean Ranking: Unranked

Frenchman Pastor will be no stranger to the On Top crowd as this will be his 5th visit to Scotland. In previous visits he has recorded wins by submission over Bobby Mcvittie and an early knockout of John Cullen at On Top 3. Graham Turner and Marcos Nardini have both outpointed the Frenchman on their way to decision victories, showing he is tough to finish. Interestingly he has also fought current On Top lightweight champ Mamour Fall twice, with each taking a decision victory.

Head to Head

Both fighters are coming into this having won their last few fights and have proven themselves competent grapplers in front of a Scottish crowd by lasting 15 minutes with Nardini. I see Sambo stylist Grechico edging this by decision or taking a submission victory late in the fight. Without a doubt however Pastor is good enough to win this if Grecicho is not at his best.
