Pavel Andrusca is a 24-year-old Moldovan out of Chișinău, undefeated at 8-0 with seven finishes, six of them knockouts, across his career at bantamweight. He accepted a short-notice call-up to make his UFC debut against Nathaniel Wood at featherweight after Mairon Santos withdrew from the original pairing due to a health issue, a significant step up in both competition and weight class for his first Octagon appearance.
