As far as Nassourdine Imavov is concerned, he solidified his spot as the No. 1 contender in the ’s middleweight division on Saturday in the City of Lights.
“The Sniper” outdueled Caio Borralho for five rounds in the UFC Paris headliner, earning a unanimous decision for his fifth consecutive triumph within the Las Vegas-based promotion. During that run, the Frenchman has also bested the likes of Israel Adesanya, Brendan Allen, Jared Cannonier and Roman Dolidze. While an upcoming clash between Anthony Hernandez and Reinier de Ridder could also factor significantly into determining the next title challenger for reigning champ Khamzat Chimaev — Imavov is confident his latest victory speaks for itself.
