Nassourdine Imavov reveals why he turned down Caio Borralho fight amidst interim title talks

UFC Middenweight Competer Nassourdine Imavov spoke to the recent Vecht callouts of Caio Borralho.

Nassourdine Imavov and Caio Borralho are two UFC middle weights that want to be given position in the title photo of the division. After Borralho called Imavov for a fight and after the alleged decline of Imavov, the tensions build between the two talented fighters.

Imavov flies high after completing the former UFC title holder Israel Adesanya in UFC Saudi Aarabia earlier this year. Unbeaten by his last five fights, Imavov makes a strong matter for a middleweight title shot for his next fight, or at least one number 1 competition.

A fight between Imavov and Borralho in a title Eliminator -fight has been discussed in recent weeks, after Borralho iMavov called on social media. But after Borralho Imavov of it accused of rejecting a fighting offer, Borralho was not happy with his middleweight colleague and called him a 'P —' on social media for a decrease.

Nassourdine Imavov responds to the fight of Caio Borralho

Imavov and Borralho, together with UFC star Khamzat Chimaev, are all in the mix for a shot at UFC Middleweight Champion Dric Du Plessis's Belt. Although a fight between Imavov and Borralho makes sense, Imavov is not fond of the idea, while he opened during a recent vlog.

In training images obtained by championship rounds, Imavov answered the recent callouts of Borralho.

“He will get Ko'd, he will sleep,” said Imavov about Borralho. “Then they will say:” It's normal, he was arranged number 1 “… That is their way to manage their career. Proceeding, you understand it. It's better to fall ahead than backwards. He gets against number 1, gets his A – then they will say:” Well that's normal … he will recover and come back stronger “

“So wait for your turn. Little by little, you have to be patient in life. People are not patient. The key is patience.”

Borralho has not responded to the statements of Imavov at the moment. Borralho recently called for an interim title match with Chimaev after Du Plessis reportedly suffered an injury that slows down his UFC return time line.

Caio Borralho, Khamzat Chimaev 'agreed to fight on UFC 317

Borralho and Chimaev are said to be 'agreed' with a fight on UFC 317, as the Brazilian recently passed on on social media. The two middle weights are former training partners, and in displayed training images, Chimaev had many radiant moments during their trade fairs.

Borralho has not fought since the beating of former UFC title -Updager Jared Cannonier in a UFC Fight Night Main Event last August. In the meantime, Chimaev earned the top status by Robert Whittaker to UFC 308.

Borralho stood up on the UFC Middleweight Card when he brutally eliminated Paul Craig on UFC 301. He is in an unbeaten streak of 17 fights in general.
