Nassourdine Imavov holds overwhelming trader consensus for Sean Strickland’s next middleweight title defense due to the UFC’s explicit assurances that the French contender’s bout will be for the belt after Strickland’s split-decision win over Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 328. Chimaev’s subsequent move to light heavyweight cleared the path, while Imavov’s five-fight unbeaten streak—including victories over Israel Adesanya and Caio Borralho—combined with their 2023 history and Imavov’s vocal personal animosity positions him as the clear frontrunner for an October or November clash. Strickland has signaled openness to the matchup. Shifts remain possible if injuries arise, Chimaev pursues an immediate rematch, or the promotion prioritizes another contender based on recent form or promotional factors.
