Summary

While Nassourdine Imavov and Caio Borralho are good to go for their pivotal UFC middleweight main event at UFC Paris, one of the most exciting bouts scheduled for Saturday's card is off altogether after Losene Keita badly missed weight for his matchup with Patricio Pitbull. What does the loss of that fight do for the card overall? Ahead of Saturday's Fight Night event at Accor Arena, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and José Youngs react to the news of the former OKTAGON champ's disastrous hiccup on the scale, and where that leaves both he and Pitbull moving forward. Additionally, they preview the Imavov vs. Borralho main event to kick off an important run for the top of the division, discuss the burning questions, if going first before the Reinier de Ridder vs. Anthony Hernandez fight at UFC Vancouver is the better spot to be in, the co-main event between Benoit Saint Denis and Mauricio Ruffy, the low-key bangers, answer listener questions and more.
