Imavov v Borralho
Michael Bisping
Former UFC middleweight champion on TNT SportsIt has been a frustrating night so far for Borralho. He has been trying, but the speed and technical ability of Imavov has shut it down.

Imavov v Borralho
Is it too early to say Borralho looks short of ideas here? Probably but I'm going with it. Borralho looks reluctant to throw his hands, maybe afraid of Imavov's counter?
The Brazilian gets caught hard on the ear and he's got blood dripping from it.

Michael Bisping
Former UFC middleweight champion on TNT SportsImavov is so sharp out there tonight. Any time there is an opportunity, he counters with two or three shots.
He is lightning fast, very technical as well. It is really good work.
It is a smart, educated and disiplined performance so far.

Paul Felder
Retired UFC fighter on TNT SportsImavov's corner want him to get a little busier.
They don't mean throwing too much volume, they want him fainting.
They want him to throw a few more hooks out there.

Imavov v Borralho
Imavov's hands are ridiculously quick as he looks to land counter strikes. It's very much a chess match so far with neither looking to engage too much. Think both are worried about what their opponent is capable of.

Pretty even stuff in the first round with no one really being troubled. Something to keep an eye on is Borralho looking to sweep the feet of Imavov.

Imavov v Borralho
It's Borralho who goes for the first takedown but Imavov locks him up before almost having his legs swept. The two separate and look to nail each other with damaging strikes.
Tentative stuff so far.

Paul Felder
Retired UFC fighter on TNT SportsBorralho wants to draw out the emotions of Imavov. Imavov knows that - he knows that he is trying to get under his skin. He has to stick to the game plan.
I don't think it is going to bother him, he is a smooth customer in there.

Borralho v Imavov
Image source, Getty ImagesThe UFC's seventh best middleweight loves maths. Who'd of thought?
You may have noticed Caio Borralho donning his signature lens-less black plastic glasses with white tape in the centre
It is a look that plays into the ethos of his team, the 'Fighting Nerds'.
"I've had a lot of parents coming to me and saying 'my son hated to wear glasses because everybody was making fun of him and right now, after seeing you guys, nobody makes fun of him and he loves to wear them'," said Borralho.
"This is important to me - it's not about just winning or losing, it's about the message that you pass, that you bring, that you leave for the other generation."

Could Nassourdine Imavov look any calmer right now?
He's enjoying a leisurely walk to the cage with his sunglasses on as he even has a little smile on his face.
