UFC Fight Night “Imavov vs. Borralho” Results
The UFC touches down in Paris with a Fight Night that could decide the next Middleweight title challenger. The entire event streams on ESPN+.
The main event inside Paris’ Accor Arena features No. 2 Nassourdine ‘The Sniper’ Imavov vs. No. 7 Caio ‘The Natural’ Borralho. France’s Imavov is riding a five-fight win streak, including a second-round knockout of former champion Israel Adesanya. Brazil’s Borralho is 7-0 in the UFC and hasn’t lost in a decade. Wins over Paul Craig and former title challenger Jared Cannonier proved he’s ready for the division’s elite.
French fan favorite Benoît Saint Denis, the No. 13–ranked lightweight, takes on No. 15–ranked Mauricio Ruffy in the co-main event. Saint Denis, a veteran of the French Foreign Legion, has finished all six of his UFC wins — with one arm-triangle, two rear-naked chokes, and three knockouts. In three wins inside the octagon, Ruffy has turned heads with a creative karate base striking style. In his lone fight of 2025, Ruffy produced a Knockout of the Year contender — sending King Green to the land of wind and ghosts with a spinning wheel kick.
