Combining brains and brawn, Caio Borralho could have become an academic, but gave it up to pursue his dream of fighting professionally. Caio Borralho dropped out of university as a young man to become an MMA fighter, excelling in Brazil before joining the UFC in 2022 after competing on Dana White’s Contender Series.
The experts had a tough time choosing, but one man looks to be the favorite in the main event of UFC Paris. The Russian-French fighter Nassourdine Imavov faces Caio Borralho in his return to France, three years after the UFC debuted in the country.
September 2025 may not feature a numbered UFC card, but it’s stacked with three action-packed Fight Night events. And it starts with UFC Paris at the Accor Arena on September 6.
Nassourdine Imavov will headline against Caio Borralho in the main event of UFC Fight Night 258 in Paris, as we preview this upcoming fight. Imavov secured the biggest win of his career, a knockout victory over Israel Adesanya in his last bout.
