Imavov Shocks Adesanya with Stunning Knockout Victory

Nassourdine Imavov delivered a statement win, knocking out former UFC champion Israel Adesanya in the second round to stake his claim for a title shot.

The Frenchman lived up to his “Sniper” nickname, landing a precise overhand right that sent Adesanya stumbling before finishing him with a brutal left uppercut.

Adesanya, fighting outside of a title bout for the first time in five years, started strong with heavy body kicks but couldn’t withstand Imavov’s power.

The referee stepped in as the Frenchman unleashed a relentless barrage, securing a career-defining victory.

Now riding a four-fight win streak, Imavov has set his sights on the UFC middleweight belt, eagerly awaiting the outcome of the upcoming title fight between Dricus Du Plessis and Sean Strickland.
