Uncrowned has UFC Paris live results, round-by-round updates, start time and highlights for the Nassourdine Imavov vs. Caio Borralho fight card on Saturday afternoon at the Accor Arena in Paris, France. Rising middleweight contenders Imavov and Borralho collide in a five-round main event that’s expected to serve as a title eliminator for UFC champion Khamzat Chimaev, while French lightweight faces off against Borrlaho’s Fighting Nerds teammate, Mauricio Ruffy, in the three-round co-headliner.
Imavov (16-4, 1 NC) punctuated the best run of his UFC career in February with a massive second-round stoppage of two-time former champion Israel Adesanya. A 30-year-old French national who goes by the nickname “The Sniper,” Imavov has won four consecutive UFC bouts, also besting fellow contenders Jared Cannonier, Brendan Allen and Roman Dolidze.

Borralho (17-1, 1 NC) has similarly been on fire since debuting under the UFC umbrella with back-to-back wins on Dana White’s Contender Series over a span of just three weeks in 2021. The 32-year-old Brazilian is a perfect 7-0 in the UFC proper, and shot up the ranks on the heels of his latest two victories over Paul Craig and Cannonier. Borralho also served as the promotion’s official backup fighter for UFC 319’s middleweight title bout between Chimaev and now-former champ Dricus du Plessis.
In the co-main event, Saint Denis (14-3, 1 NC) looks to continue his recent rebound following his second-round submission of Kyle Prepolec this past May, which snapped a two-fight losing skid. He’ll have his work cut out for him though, as Ruffy (12-1) is undefeated in the UFC and most recently scored one of the wildest knockouts of the year with his first-round spinning wheel kick of King Green at UFC 315.
