UFC Vegas 85: Previewing the main event between Roman Dolidze and Nassourdine Imavov
Nassourdine Imavov is now ranked eleventh in the middleweight division, three positions below Roman Dolidze, who is currently ranked eighth in the division. It was a winless year for both of these combatants. At UFC Vegas 85, they will engage in a fight against a dangerous adversary with the goal of beginning their year with a successful accomplishment.
In spite of the fact that he is ranked lower, Imavov has competed against formidable opponents such as Sean Strickland, a former middleweight champion. It is also true that he is the more experienced fighter of the two, and he will attempt to use this advantage against Dolidze.
Before suffering a defeat at the hands of former challenger Marvin Vettori at UFC 286 in March of the previous year, Dolidze had won his previous four fights in a single row. It is possible that a return to winning ways might be the beginning of a spectacular run that propels him into the top five of the middleweight class and possibly into the title picture.
