Jared Cannonier understands that it’s now or never ever.
The 40-year-old has actually long been thought about among the UFC middleweight department’s primary strikers, as evidenced by his 10 KOs in his 17 profession wins. The one-time title opposition has, given that he was beat by then-champ Israel Adesanya in the summer season of 2022, been outlining a course back to title contention.
Considering that defeat to Adesanya, Cannonier has actually scored wins versus leading ranked fighters Sean Strickland and Marvin Vettori however in his last trip in June versus Nassourdine Imavov, he sustained simply the 3rd KO defeat of his profession in a battle that stopped briefly, a minimum of momentarily, prepares to place his name into title talk as soon as again at 185-pounds.
This weekend inside the UFC’s Apex center beyond Las Vegas, Cannonier deals with a test in the shape of the 16-1 (1) Brazilian Caio Borralho. A win will go a long method to re-establishing his path to gold in an increasingly competitive department. A loss? Well, it’s a long method back to the top.
