0:39 and Jared Cannonier.. hes on a four fight ranked streak; Dolidze, Cannonier, Allen, Adesanya. All within a 12 month period. Much more accomplished at 185 with crazy activity compared to Chimaev

[@tarzanstrickland]

The Robert Whittaker fight makes much more sense than Caio. Borralho does not deserve a fight with Imavov. Nassourdine has collected 2 additional ranked wins after defeating Cannonier. Borralho should have to do the same to deserve a fight with Imavov. Nassourdine has objectively done the most work in the 185 division of any contender. If it werent for Chimaevs hype, Nassourdine would be the obvious title contender. If not a title shot, he has more than earned a Whittaker fight as he will take Adesanya's ranking at #2, and earned the status of not giving an up and comer a fast track to his position. Imavov has done too much work to potentially hand it over to a much less accomplished, less active man of a lesser name.

Imavov is 7-0, 1NC in his last 8 at Middleweight. He lost to Sean Strickland but that was at 205 lbs when he filled in cause Kelvin Gastelum couldnt make it to the fight. Even if he doesnt get the winner of DDP vs Sean Strickland 2, his body of work shows why his next fight should be for a title. We have contenders building up but Imavovs body of work is good.

[@Calmzat]

If he doesn’t fight for the belt give him the main event for Paris he said in a post fight interview he needs some rest due to injuries

[@tarzanstrickland]

definitely. It should be Imavov Whittaker as the 5rd Co-Main of Strickland/Du Plessis vs Chimaev, or Imavov Whittaker as a fight night headliner in France around the same time as Sean/Dricus vs Chimaev

Imavov should wait, he did enough, give him his chance 🏆

[@louislim1765]

Give him Caio and the winner gets a title shot! Caio is underrated asf

[@A1v5p9]

Imavov and Fiorot have kind of same fate,cool wins but it doesn't enough to go straight to the title One more win against top 5 and belt is there,I'm sure Allez Nass!

[@ChrisF-fx5du]

It's nas vs khamzat He didn't take much damage and it's gotta be a #1 contender definitely

[@sillynelson1]

Khamzat most likely getting the next title shot, Imavov should fight Caio for #1 contender.

[@Born-Again512]

Imavov waits for title shot. Caio can fight Rob. DDP/Strickland winner can fight Khamzat in July, winner of that fights Imavov next JAN/FEB.

Easy money for Caio Borralho
