Bo Nickal Picks Nassourdine Imavov As the Next Middleweight Title Contender

The UFC middleweight picked #4-ranked Imavov for the next title opportunity against Khamzat Chimaev. “At this point, Imavov… I would have said RDR had he won his last fight,” Nickal said. #8-ranked contender Reinier de Ridder’s unbeaten UFC run ended in 2025 when he quit against Brendan Allen. Meanwhile, Imavov beat Borralho in September and carries a five-fight win streak.
