Kyle
Daukaus is lined up to face a new opponent at
UFC Fight Night 197, as Roman
Dolidze has agreed to take the middleweight bout on short
notice.
MMAjunkie.com was first to report the new booking. Daukaus was
originally scheduled for a rematch against Kevin
Holland before Holland withdrew due to injury. Meanwhile,
Dolidze was slated for a matchup with Eryk Anders
at the same event before that fight fell through.
UFC Fight Night 197 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on
Nov. 13 and is headlined by a featherweight tilt between Max
Holloway and Yair
Rodriguez.
Dolidze has kicked off his promotional tenure with victories in
three of his first four Octagon appearances. Most recently, the
33-year-old Georgian outpointed Laureano
Staropoli at UFC Fight Night 189 on June 5.
Daukaus, meanwhile, had a submission win against Holland overturned
when it was determined the fight was altered due to an accidental
clash of heads. The Martinez BJJ representative has just one
victory in four Octagon appearances — a decision win against
Dustin
Stoltzfus at UFC 255.
