UFC Middleweight Champion Dricus Du Plessis defends the gold against Khamzat Chimaev in the main event of UFC 319.
Nassaurdine Imavov was set to be the backup fighter for the main event fight, but that is no longer the case.
Imavov announced the following on X:
No backup anymore. Conditions changed. You wanted to talk son, I’m here, I'm gonna break you @BorralhoCaio ???? ⏳

It now seems like Imavov has set his sights on Caio Borralho instead of a possible title shot, but no fight has been announced between the two at this time.
