Following a measured and relatively uniform stanza, the emerging Russian has Gway with a jab that caught Adesanya’s attention before running with a right hand that removed the legs under the former champion twice . While ADESANYA tried to recover and defend itself, Imavov jumped and got the finish.
Just an exceptional performance for the “sniper” who has increased, who has now won four games in a row and injected himself into the thickness of the title conversation in the weight category of 185 pounds. For Adesanya, it is a third right setback and a second consecutive loss of stop, leaving a lot to wonder what is happening and what remains for “The Last Stylebender”.
But the night belonged to Imavov, who has now won four fights in the past 12 months to cement his position as a serious title threat in the ranks of 185 pounds.
