Major Fighters in UFC Fight Night: Imavov vs. Borralho
Nassourdine Imavov
Imavov is currently the number 2 ranked middleweight in the UFC and is currently on a 4-fight win-streak, with victories over Jared Cannonier, Brendan Allen and Israel Adesanya. He’s now 8-2 in the UFC and 16-4 overall in his professional mixed martial arts career. 44% of his wins have come by KO/TKO, with 4 in the UFC, including his wins over Cannonier and Adesanya. Imavov last stepped into the Octagon in February, where he won a performance of the night bonus for stopping the former middleweight champion.
Caio Borralho
Caio Borralho has quickly risen up the rankings since entering the UFC in 2022. He’s now ranked 7th in the middleweight division after picking up 7 wins while remaining undefeated in the promotion. His career record stands at 17-1, and he has stoppage wins over Michal Oleksiejczuk and Paul Craig. As part of the Fighting Nerds team, Borralho is an exciting personality both inside and outside the cage. He’s also one of our Stake sponsored athletes. In his last 2 fights, Borralho won performance bonuses. Check out our Stake exclusive interview with Borralho and read what he has to say about his upcoming fight right here on Stake.
Benoît Saint Denis
Saint Denis lost his debut UFC fight but went on an impressive run through the lightweight division, winning 5 straight fights by stoppage before being beaten by Dustin Poirier. Since then, he’s fought twice more, with a loss to Renato Moicana and a submission win over Kyle Prepolec. Saint Denis is now ranked 13th in the division and is 6-3 in the UFC, with an overall record of 14-3. Most impressively, his fights have only ever gone to decision once.
Maurício Ruffy
Another member of the Fighting Nerds gym, Ruffy has looked extremely talented during his short UFC run. He secured a Contender Series KO in 2023 and has since fought 3 times in the UFC, with 2 KO wins, which both earned him performance bonuses. His most recent win, a spinning heel kick against King Green, was one of the most impressive KOs ever in the UFC. He’s now 12-1, with 11 wins by KO/TKO. While Ruffy is currently unranked, he’ll soon enter the rankings if he keeps winning.
Fight Card & Betting Odds
Main Event
Imavov may be higher in the rankings, but he’s the slight underdog for this middleweight bout according to the latest MMA odds. Although he did lose to Phil Hawes early on in his UFC run and former champion Sean Strickland, his 4-fight win streak shows he’s a potential middleweight championship contender. He’s looked better with every fight, particularly in his striking ability.
Borralho has a similar record to Imavov in terms of the level of fighters they’ve beaten. However, he’s also undefeated in the UFC, and he seems like he could be a future champion. He’ll have to get through Imavov to challenge for the middleweight title, but his superior grappling skills could make the difference, especially in the later rounds.
Co-Main Event
The odds for this fight have Saint Denis as an underdog, despite the fact that he’s ranked and facing an unranked opponent. The French fighter will have the home crowd on his side as he looks to secure a 2nd straight win. He’ll most likely shoot for takedowns early to avoid Ruffy’s striking and rely on his submission skills to try to secure a finish.
Ruffy has looked outstanding so far in the UFC and could become a real star if he continues to perform. However, he’s largely untested so far, and although he has the potential to KO any opponent, it remains to be seen whether he can handle an aggressive grappler.
