Joe Pyfer explains why Nassourdine Imavov deserves UFC title shot over Khamzat Chimaev

MIAMI – Joe Pyfer likes what he's seen out of Nassourdine Imavov as of late. Imavov (17-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC) is hoping to secure the next title shot against UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland (31-7 MMA, 18-7 UFC), who upset Khamzat Chimaev to claim the title at UFC 328. Chimaev (15-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) is campaigning for a rematch, but Pyfer thinks the streaking Imavov is more deserving.
