Nassourdine Imavov Knockout Israel Adesanya

Nassourdine Imavov knocked out former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya 30 seconds into Round 2, pushing his win streak to four on Saturday afternoon in the main event of UFC Fight Night 250 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Imavov (16-4, 1 NC MMA) handed Adesanya (24-5) his third straight loss and fourth in his last six appearances and called for a middleweight title shot against the winner of the rematch between Dricus Du Plessis (22-2) vs. Sean Strickland (29-6) in next Saturday’s UFC 312 headliner.

“I think there’s no doubt I’m worth (fighting) for the belt,” Imavov said via a translator immediately after the fight. “I mean, four victories in one year. Two top five, two top-10 (wins) Two finishes. The record speaks for itself.”

The co-headliner saw Michael Page hand Sharabutdin Magomedov his first MMA defeat, winning a unanimous decision 30-27, 30-27, 29-28.

Page (23-3) improved to 2-1 in the UFC, voicing to the welterweight division in his post-fight interview that he could be a formidable title challenger later this year

Magomedov (15-1) quickly rose up to the UFC scene and was fresh off a 3-0 mark last year, having won two of three fights by knockout.
