Nassourdine Imavov left UFC Paris with one of the biggest wins of his career, handily defeating Caio Borralho in the evening’s highly anticipated headliner.
Neither fighter was particularly offensive in the first round. However, Borralho likely took the stanza after controlling much of the action and pinning Imavov’s back to the fence in the final minute.
Though the opening stanza was a quiet one from Imavov, his striking started to open up in the second, and it continued to take off from there.
