Off the back of his spectacular win tonight, Nassourdine Imavov has staked his claim for a shot at the middleweight title following a decisive second round knockout win over former two-time champion, Israel Adesanya in the main event of UFC Saudi Arabia.
Imavov, who entered tonight’s potential title eliminator clash against City Kickboxing star, Adesanya as the current number five ranked contender, extended his impressive winning run to four fights on the trot.
And turning in the most impressive victory of his Octagon tenure to date, Russian-French challenger, Imavov made relatively short work of former two-time gold holder, Adesanya inside the opening two rounds.
