Originally planned for Dec. 9 in Shanghai, China, the Dolidze (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) vs. Imavov (12-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC) bout has been rescheduled due to visa issues, marking the first promotional main event for both men.
Dolidze is seeking a comeback after a loss to Marvin Vettori at UFC 286 in London. In contrast, Imavov aims to bounce back from recent defeats and no contests in back-to-back outings.
The showdown adds to the UFC Fight Night lineup for Feb. 3, featuring various compelling match-ups.
