Pre-fight discussion UFC Fight Night 235: Dolidze vs. Imavov Sat. Feb. 3 prelims 4pm et main 7pm et, ESPN+

[Khaosan]

Who’s fighting? Giblert Melendez?

 

[StonedLemur]

The wait is finally over... The highly anticipated battle between Roman Dolidze and Nassourdine Imavov begins tonight

How excited are you for the fight? Will you be tuning in?

"Imavov and Dolidze are to very evenly matched fighters who are both quite durable. The big thing separating the two of them is volume, where Imavov lands at a much higher rate than Dolidze. In a fight like this, that can be all the difference. Betting on Decision props in five-round fights is always a bit sweaty, but it’s worth it in this case as Dolidze is too tough to get finished, but Imavov will steadily pull away with more output."

I like Imavov. Sue me. Dilidze is okay too as long as you dont leave your gf with him.

 

[Danespina]

In the many years I've been watching this ranks among the least anticipated cards for me personally.
But I still picked out a couple things I'm interested in. Such as the Co-main and Natalia Silva.

 

[Conan the K-9]

I’m tuning in for these ladies!
