This weekend’s main event features a pair of ranked middleweights aiming to get things moving in the right direction to begin 2024. After posting three wins in the final seven months of 2023 and running his overall winning streak to four, Dolidze made just one appearance last year, dropping a unanimous decision to perennial contender Marvin Vettori. He’s 6-2 inside the Octagon across two divisions, sports a 12-2 mark overall, and feels like a competitor that has more to show going forward. The 28-year-old Imavov was hoping to have a more active and productive year in 2023 after competing just once the year before. While he doubled up his number of appearances, the results just weren’t there, as he dropped a main event assignment to late replacement Sean Strickland at the start of 2024, then had his fight with Chris Curtis in Vancouver halted early and ruled a no contest following an accidental clash of heads.
