Dolidze (12-2 MMA) will enter tonight’s main event looking to rebound, this after suffering a controversial decision loss to Marvin Vettori in his most recent effort ten months ago. Prior to that setback, ‘The Caucasian’ had put together a four-fight winning streak, which included knockout victories over Kyle Daukaus, Phil Hawes and Jack Hermansson.

Meanwhile, Nassourdine Imavov (12-4 MMA) most recently competed at June’s UFC 289 event in Vancouver, where his fight with Chris Curtis ended a no-contest after an accidental clash of heads rendered ‘The Action Man’ unable to continue. Prior to that, the Frenchman was coming off a unanimous decision loss to former middleweight champion Sean Strickland.

UFC Vegas 85 is co-headlined by a highly anticipated lightweight bout featuring Drew Dober taking on Renato Moicano.

Drew Dober

Dober (27-12 MMA) was last seen in action at October’s UFC Vegas 80 event, where he scored a first-round TKO victory over Ricky Glenn. That finish got the Denver native back into the win column, as he had previously suffered a TKO loss to Matt Frevola at UFC 288.

Meanwhile, Renato Moicano (17-5-1 MMA) will be competing for the first time since scoring a submission win over Brad Riddell at UFC 281 in November of 2022. The 34-year-old Brazilian has gone 3-1 over his past four Octagon appearances, with his lone loss in that time coming to former champion Rafael Dos Anjos by unanimous decision.
