After a long delay in accepting the challenge of Caio Borralho, Nassourdine Imavov surprised everyone by suddenly giving the Brazilian a positive nod. Despite the situation, the Nerd was furious with his rival's attitude and used his social media to provoke the fighter who until then had been 'hiding' from a possible confrontation.
“Finally stopped hiding, huh??? You don’t give orders, you do what you’re told. You tried to avoid this fight for a long time and everyone knew it. Now, you’re going to do exactly what I tell you: fight me! I make the rules here… say goodbye to France, I’m sending you back to Dagestan,” Caio posted on his official X account.

Currently ranked first in the middleweight division (up to 83,9 kg), Imavov was scheduled to be the reserve fighter for the fight between Dricus du Plessis e Khamzat Shimaev at UFC 319. Amidst several challenges carried out by Borralho, the Frenchman stated that it was not worth putting his position at risk to face the sixth-placed fighter in the division.
It is not yet known what the UFC promised Imavov. According to the athlete, 'the conditions have changed'. Victorious in his last appearances, Nassourdine is expecting to fight for the title if he becomes the first opponent to defeat Borralho in the UFC.
