Nassourdine Imavov spoke to Michael Bisping after his victory against Caio Borralho: "Considering the circumstances, I am really happy with the performance. On my right foot, there is a tendon or something that has let go in my heel that is really painful. I would have liked to get the finish, but I am satisfied."
If he is next to challenge the title: "No hesitation, I am next. It has been 10 years that [Borralho] was unbeaten and I beat him with style. I definitely need to be the next one."

Time for the results...
Round fivepublished at 23:23 British Summer Time 6 September
Imavov v Borralho

The two embrace before the judges decide who takes the W here.
Is it fair to say the main event didn't live up to what it promised? Probably but it was intriguing and tense.
I'd say Imavov will take the victory but you never know...

Imavov is given a "hard warning" and we get back into it.
Round fivepublished at 23:19 British Summer Time 6 September
Imavov v Borralho

Boos all round as Borralho drops and claims he's taken a poke to the eye.
Replays show he did and it looked pretty awful.
Round fivepublished at 23:18 British Summer Time 6 September
Imavov v Borralho

Borralho comes out and lands a right and left hand and then connects with a huge right hook. Imavov connects with a counter strike but is Borralho looking for the knockout here?

Borralho has abandoned the takedowns now, he isn't shooting like he was at the start of the fight. If that was the strategy, it has failed - you're on plan B now.
He has to make a big effort in round five and get a finish.

Borralho's corner tells him he has to get a knockout or submission right now.

Round fourpublished at 23:15 British Summer Time 6 September
Imavov v Borralho

Borralho looks for that foot sweep again and very nearly gets it but Imavov shows incredible balance and then back comes the Frenchman with a heavy one-two.
Imavov looks the fresher of the two and has been cutting off the cage constantly during this fight. You get the feeling Borralho needs something very special to win from here.
Round fourpublished at 23:12 British Summer Time 6 September
Imavov v Borralho

Imavov throws a lightning fast strike but just misses the face of Borralho before landing a shot to the body and a stunning combo.
Borralho is being outclassed at the moment but he's still in there and that makes him dangerous.

Borralho takes a poke in the eye but didn't need long to get back fighting. He looks to lock Imavov up against the cage but Imavov defends.
Borralho comes forward with the right hand and lands on the side of Imavov's head.
A better round for the Brazilian but maybe not good enough.
