The French fighter was right for the Brazilian this Saturday, at the Accor Arena in Paris. It takes one more step towards the average weight belt of the UFC.
Frenchman Nassourdine Imavov has scored points in his quest for the average weight belt of the UFC by beating the Brazilian Caio Borralho to the unanimous decision, Saturday at the Accor Arena in Paris. In a closed and fully acquired countertop room, the French, more offensive if not spectacular, made his power and endurance speak to exhaust the Brazilian.
IMAVOV, 29 years old and ranked Challenger N.2 before the fight, remained on a resounding victory last February by KO against the legend Israel Adesanya. He had to confirm against Borralho, n.7 in the category with the wind in stern. After this fifth row victory against a member of the Top 10 in the category, the Dagestan native established himself as a natural pretender to a belt fight, currently in possession of Khamzat Chimaev.

“BSD” and Sy had shown the way
After Ciryl Gane twice, then Benoit Saint-Denis last year, it was he, the “sniper”, that the UFC had chosen to show off the main fight of the Parisian evening, which this year had the air of France-Brazil. A few moments before, Benoit Saint-Denis also won against another Brazilian, Mauricio Ruffy, announced as a favorite despite a lower classification.
A year after the demolition suffered in the capital, “BSD” won with the way, pushing his opponent to abandon during the second round after a rear strangulation. First Frenchman of the evening to enter the cage, Oumar Sy had shown the way with an impressive success by Ko Technique against Brendson Ribeiro before the end of the first round.
