Jared Cannonier Form
Jared Cannonier is the #4 ranked middleweight contender with a professional record of 17-6 (10 KOs, 2 Subs).
Cannonier made the move down to 185lbs in 2018 and the move immediately paid dividends as he won three consecutive fights.
He knocked out David Branch in the second round, Anderson Silva in the first and Jack Hermansson in the second as he climbed the ladder.
The 40-year-old American’s streak was halted by a unanimous decision defeat to Robert Whittaker, but he rebounded quickly.
Cannonier bested Kelvin Gastelum on points and then stopped Derek Brunson in the second round to earn himself a shot at the middleweight title.
‘The Killa Gorilla’ came up short though, as the dropped a unanimous decision to Israel Adesanya in July 2022.
He bounced back later that year, edging Sean Strickland via split decision, and then backed that up in his sole outing of 2023 as he claimed a unanimous points win over Marvin Vettori.
Nassourdine Imavov Form
Nassourdine Imavov is the #7 ranked middleweight contender with a career record of 13-4 (5 KOs, 4 Subs) and 1 No Contest.
Imavov debuted in the UFC in October 2020 and got off to a successful start with unanimous decision win over Jordan Williams.
He lost his next fight, dropping a majority decision to Phil Hawes, but he quickly got his career back on track.
The 29-year-old Russian stopped Iain Heinisch with strikes in the second round of their bout, and matched that in his next outing with a second-round TKO victory over Edmen Shahbazyan.
Imavov then made it three wins in a row with a unanimous decision win over Joaquin Buckley.
‘The Sniper’ lost his next fight though, losing to Sean Strickland via unanimous decision, and then saw his fight with Chris Curtis go to a No Contest after an accidental clash of heads.
He finally got back to winning ways in February, overcoming a one-point deduction to beat Roman Dolidze by majority decision.
Verdict
Jared Cannonier has looked sharp in his most recent outings, despite his increasing age.
He is a talented striker who uses reach and power well, and if he produces a disciplined display we like his chances of outpointing Nassourdine Imavov.
