Amidst growing rivalry with Caio Borralho, Nassourdine Imavov attracted attention on social media by publishing an unusual video in his preparation for the UFC ParisOn TikTok, the Frenchman is seen training with his coach. So far, nothing out of the ordinary. The curious detail is the soundtrack chosen: "Mais que Nada," a classic Brazilian song by Sérgio Mendes.
The song choice appears to have been intentional. With the fight against the Brazilian scheduled for September 6th, Imavov has been adopting a series of provocative strategies.

Imavov and Borralho have been trading barbs since the Brazilian began asking for a fight following his seventh consecutive UFC victory. The Frenchman, currently ranked No. 1 in the middleweight rankings, initially refused the fight, saying his rival needed to "wait his turn" in the organization.
The rivalry intensified until the fight was confirmed as the main event of the UFC Paris, at the Accor Arena, on September 6. Since then, both have been exploring not only the technical side, but also the pre-fight psychological warfare.
