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.
