A middleweight clash pitting Roman
Dolidze against Nassourdine
Imavov will serve as the headliner for an Ultimate Fighting
Championship event on Feb. 3.
The booking was initially reported by MMA
TIME. Dolidze also recently confirmed the bout on social media.
The UFC Fight Night card does not yet have an official location or
venue. According to
MMAjunkie.com, Dolidze vs. Imavov was initially slated to take
place at UFC Fight Night 233 on Dec. 9.
Dolidze had a four-bout winning streak snapped in his last outing,
when he suffered a unanimous decision loss to former title
challenger Marvin
Vettori at UFC 286 on March 18. “The Caucasian” is 6-2 in UFC
competition, with four KO/TKO victories to his credit.
Imavov, meanwhile, is coming off a bout against Chris
Curtis at UFC 289 that ended 3:04 into Round 2 due to an
accidental clash of heads. Prior to that, the Frenchman dropped a
five-round verdict against current middleweight king Sean
Strickland in the UFC Fight Night 217 main event. Imavov was
victorious in four of his first five Octagon appearances.
