Two of the best Middleweight contenders in the UFC, No. 1 Nassourdine Imavov and No. 6 Caio Borralho, face off this week’s UFC Fight Night in Paris, France. Borralho hasn’t lost a fight since 2015, while Imavov has won four straight fights.
Here is my best bet for Nassourdine Imavov vs. Caio Borralho in the Main Event of UFC Paris.
Nassourdine Imavov Moneyline (+110)
In this fight, Borralho is a -130 favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook while the top 185-pound contender is a +110 underdog. This fight is -175 to go the distance, with it being +125 for the bout to end within the 25 scheduled minutes.
In the past four years, Imavov has gone 7-1 with one no contest. Imavov’s lone defeat in that span came against former UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland. Imavov has wins over Israel Adesanaya, Brendan Allen, Jared Cannonier, and Roman Dolidze.
Borralho, 32, is 7-0 in the UFC and has gone 16-0 with one no contest since 2016. Borralho’s lone career defeat came in his second MMA fight in 2015. Imavov and Borralho have one common opponent, Jared Cannonier. Borralho defeated Cannonier by unanimous decision, while Imavov beat him via fourth-round KO/TKO. With Imavov having the better resume lately while fighting in his home country, this is the perfect moment for him to deliver another elite performance. If he does so, it could earn him a future title opportunity against Middleweight Champion Khamzat Chimaev.
