Jared Cannonier was dealt a tough setback Saturday when he came out on the wrong end of the UFC on ESPN 57 main event with Nassourdine Imavov.
Cannonier (17-7 MMA, 10-7 UFC) protested the stoppage by Jason Herzog in the fourth-round TKO defeat to Imavov (14-4 MMA, 6-2 UFC) at KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ken., but there’s not much he can do other than swallow the result and push forward to the next chapter.
That’s easier said than done for Cannonier, who is now 40 and only has limited time to rebuild himself as an 185-pound contender.
