Caio Borralho is itching for a fight in the UFC middleweight division. Despite his impressive unbeaten streak and recent victory over Jared Cannonier, Borralho has hit a roadblock in finding his next opponent.

The Brazilian fighter was hoping to compete at UFC 317 for International Fight Week, with a potential matchup against Nassourdine Imavov on the table. However, Imavov declined the fight, citing a desire to wait for a title shot. Borralho was disappointed by Imavov’s decision, feeling that he was avoiding a tough matchup.

With rumors swirling about champion Dricus du Plessis’s potential injury, Borralho has been left in limbo. He has even called out Khamzat Chimaev for a fight in the absence of any movement at the top of the division. Despite not receiving any responses yet, Borralho remains hopeful for a bout with Chimaev.

Ranked No. 6 in the UFC middleweight rankings, Borralho is eager to face someone ranked above him in his next fight. He is willing to fight anyone, regardless of their ranking, as he believes that the rankings are not always reflective of a fighter’s skill or readiness to compete.

Ultimately, Borralho’s main goal is simple: he just wants to fight. With his passion for competition and his determination to prove himself in the Octagon, Borralho is ready to take on any challenge that comes his way.
