Number 6 middleweight contender Caio BorraIho didn’t miss much time to name himself for an interim title fight against Khamzat Chimaev at International Fight Week.

no to fight me!” and “If I was him, I would look in the mirror and feel shame for myself!”

“That’s their way of managing their careers. Falling forwards, you get it, it’s better to fall forwards than backwards.”
Imavov said
