Nassourdine Imavov Agrees With Stoppage at UFC Louisville
Nassourdine Imavov spoke to reporters after the battle and he stated he had no issues with Jason Herzog’s determination to place an finish to the battle when he did (through MMAJunkie.com).
“It’s the job of the referee to resolve if the fighter is ready to hold going or not,” Imavov instructed reporters on the UFC on ESPN 57 post-fight press convention. “He took quite a lot of harm, and he would’ve taken much more if the battle would’ve continued, so I feel it was the correct determination to cease it.”
Imavov went on to say that he has his sights set on former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland. The 2 fought at mild heavyweight again in early 2023 and Strickland received through unanimous determination. Imavov stated he desires to get his revenge at middleweight.
For the reason that loss to Strickland, Imavov has gone 2-0, 1 NC. The one no contest ruling occurred on account of an unintentional conflict of heads with Strickland’s teammate Chris Curtis.
Whether or not or not Imavov will get the rematch with Strickland stays to be seen. Sean has made it clear that he desires one other title battle and that he’ll wait if he has to.
