Nassourdine Imavov is a Russian-French mixed martial artist competing in the UFC middleweight division, nicknamed “The Sniper” for his patient, range-based striking. Born in Khasavyurt, Dagestan, and raised in France, he began training in boxing at age nine before transitioning to MMA and joining Fernand Lopez’s MMA Factory. After compiling an 8-2 record on the French and European regional circuit, including a win at ARES FC 1, Imavov debuted in the UFC in October 2020 and has since recorded stoppages over Ian Heinisch, Edmen Shahbazyan, Jared Cannonier, and former two-time champion Israel Adesanya.
