Nassourdine Imavov is confident he will be a tougher puzzle for Jared Cannonier to solve than the former title challenger’s previous opponent.
Cannonier (17-6 MMA, 10-6 UFC) landed 241 strikes in his fight with Marvin Vettori last year. He believes Imavov (13-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) won’t be able to withstand that amount of damage when they meet in the UFC on ESPN 57 main event at KFC Yum! Center in Lousiville, Ky.
However, Imavov doesn’t think that his opponent will have the opportunity to test that theory, as he sees the fight unfolding much differently.
