The Octagon returns to Kentucky for tonight’s UFC Louisville occasion, a 14-bout battle card headlined by Jared Cannonier vs. Nassourdine Imavov.
Cannonier (17-6 MMA) will enter the bout sporting a two-fight successful streak, this after scoring choice victories over Sean Strickland and Marvin Vettori in his most up-to-date efforts. ‘The Killa Gorilla’ might be seeking to reenter title competition with a win this night.
In the meantime, Nassourdine Imavov (13-4 MMA) final fought and defeated Roman Dolidze (12-3 MMA) this previous February by majority choice. ‘The Sniper’ has gone 3-1-1 over his previous 5 Octagon appearances total.
UFC Louisville is co-headlined by a light-weight heavyweight matchup that includes Dustin Jacoby taking over former title challenger Dominick Reyes.
Jacoby (19-8-1 MMA) might be seeking to get again into the win column after his most up-to-date loss to Alonzo Menifield (15-4 MMA) final December at UFC 296. ‘The Hanyak’ has gone 2-3 over his previous 5 Octagon appearances total.
In the meantime, Dominick Reyes (12-4 MMA) might be seeking to snap a four-fight shedding skid when he takes to the cage this night. ‘The Dominator’ has been knocked out in his previous three fights, struggling losses to Jan Blachowicz, Jiri Prochazka and Ryan Spann throughout that stretch.
