The
UFC Fight Night 235 weigh-ins took place, and now the 13-fight
card is now official.
The main event will be an intriguing middleweight fight between
Ultimate Fighting Championship contenders Roman
Dolidze and Nassourdine
Imavov. Both men successfully made weight for the five-round
fight. All fighters made weight with the exception of Luana
Carolina, who came in at 129 pounds for her flyweight fight
against Julija
Stoliarenko. Carolina will be fined a percentage of her purse
for coming in 3 pounds overweight.

The pride of Georgia, Dolidze (12-2) is coming off a disappointing
setback to Marvin
Vettori. Prior to the decision defeat, “The Caucasian” had won
four straight fights inside the promotion. This includes knockout
wins over Jack
Hermansson and Phil Hawes.
Dolidze officially weighed 186 pounds on the dot.
Meanwhile, Imavov (12-4, 1 NC) hasn’t won since 2022. The French
fighter is looking to bounce back from a rough 2023 that saw him
lose a decision to Sean
Strickland, and a fight against Chris
Curtis declared a no-contest after a clash of heads. Prior to
the disappointments, Imavov had put together three straight wins
over the likes of Joaquin
Buckley and Edmen
Shahbazyan. Imavov stepped on the scale weighing 185 pounds
exactly.
UFC Fight Night 235 will air in its entirety on ESPN+. Prelims
begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT before the main card starts at 7 p.m.
ET/4 p.m. PT.
