UFC Fight Night 258 Prediction: Who Will Win Caio Borralho vs. Nassourdine Imavov?
Our best bet for the main event at UFC Fight Night 258 will be for Caio Borralho to win.
Although Imavov will have the home crowd behind him, Borralho looks to be too balanced for him to handle, especially when it comes to grappling – Imavov simply does not stack up compared to Borralho. His takedown defence could help limit the number of takedowns landed, but even with that, it does not look to be enough. Additionally, Borralho does a better job at limiting the damage he takes.
Overall, our Borralho vs. Imavov best bet for the main event will be Caio Borralho on the money line at -135.
