Following his split decision upset over Khamzat Chimaev to reclaim the UFC middleweight title at UFC 328 on May 9 in Newark, former champion Sean Strickland sustained a broken nose but quickly named #4-ranked Nassourdine Imavov as his preferred next opponent after a brief recovery and supporting friend Alex Pereira. Imavov, riding a four-fight win streak with sharp counterstriking, represents a high-volume striking clash against Strickland's relentless pressure, aligning with UFC's pattern of booking top contenders for title defenses. Other viable options include rematch with Dricus du Plessis, who dethroned Strickland previously, or surging threats like Brendan Allen or Caio Borralho, pending official rankings updates and UFC matchmaking amid no confirmed date yet.
