At #3 in the middleweight rankings, Nassourdine Imavov — "The Sniper" to fight fans — is past the "prospect" stage. This is contender territory, and every fight from here is a title eliminator in disguise.
Volume is the weapon: 4.28 significant strikes a minute on 59% accuracy. Rounds get won on attrition — opponents drown in output long before the final bell.
He arrives on a 5-fight win streak — most recently Caio Borralho, Decision - Unanimous. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
