French middleweight Nassourdine Imavov, after an early victory over Jared Cannonier in the main event of UFC on ESPN 57 Louisville, USA, expressed his desire to share the octagon with former champion Sean Strickland.
"My goal is to win the title. I want to do it for myself, for my family and for my team. No matter how hard my journey is, I know that eventually I will fight for the belt.
I think the next step for me should be a fight with Sean Strickland. We could have a contender's bout with him in September at the UFC event in Paris. Sean, if you want, let's fight," - said Imavov after the fight.
Recall that Imavov and Strickland have already met in the octagon. In January last year, the American won on points.
