Chimaev injury scraps Imavov title fight

Nassourdine Imavov disclosed UFC targeted December and February dates for his middleweight title fight against champion Khamzat Chimaev, but Chimaev's injury derailed plans. Imavov, on a five-fight win streak including a win over Caio Borralho, believes he's next in line yet awaits confirmation. This shakes up the 185-pound title picture, with Sean Strickland's recent win over Anthony Hernandez adding competition. Chimaev's size fuels move-up rumors to 205, per Dana White's rules. Imavov ready to fight; expect UFC to rebook soon amid divisional logjam.
