The world’s premiere MMA league is back this Saturday (February 3rd) for UFC Fight Night: Dolidze vs. Imavov, which is happening from the highly familiar APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. The top of the billing is getting a clash of ranked middleweights when the #8 rated, Roman Dolidze, does the ‘man dance’ with the #11 rated, Nassourdine Imavov. The co-main event for this weekend promises to deliver the action as action fighters Renato Moicano and Drew Dober get it popping. The start time for this UFC fight card is set for 4:00 pm ET.
Both fighters in the main event are looking to get back into the win column. Dolidze is returning to action following a decision loss to the perennially ranked Marvin Vettori in March of last year. Before that, Roman was riding a wicked four fight wining wave, having finished three of those matches before the third round. As for Imavov, he was on a three-fight winning streak before that was snapped in a decision loss to pre-champ Sean Strickland. After that, he was involved in a no contest with Strickland teammate Chris Curtis, following an ill-fated clash of heads.
Dolidze vs. Imavo. is kind of a weird matchup. I have to favor Nassourdine on the feet, and Roman on the ground, but who has more of that dog in them? When it comes to x-factor that department, which means far more above 170-pounds, I’d have to vote for Dolidze. With this being a five-round headliner, it’s worth noting that the cardio edge here is probably on the side of Imavov.
The co-main event for this UFC fight night has a great chance of ending early, and feels like one of those ‘two true outcomes’ matchups. Renato Moicano’s last five wins came by way of RNC, while Drew Dober’s last seven victories involved spectacular knockouts! Renato’s getting KO’d or Drew’s gonna snooze! FUEGO!
