UFC Vegas 85: Dolidze vs. Imavov, February 3

[Guld]

He's competent but Moicano is extremely dangerous. Since moving to LW all his wins have been RNCs.

It's an interesting fight for me because Dober has been getting fed mostly strikers since the Dariush loss, so we haven't been able to see how his ground game has progressed all that much.

Yeah, both guys are also getting older and Moicano is coming out of knee surgery, so there are a few x factors as well. Maybe too many variables for my liking haha.

McCann by KO at +370 and Dolidze by KO at +420 seem absurd imo.

UFC Vegas 85’s Molly McCann nearly retired after ‘cruel’ London loss: ‘That was me, done’

After a devastating loss in front of a proud hometown crowd, "Meatball" is back at a new weight class — and a new mentality — toward the adversities of mixed martial arts (MMA).

www.mmamania.com

Both Belbita and McCann were "retired" after their most recent fights, which they both lost. McCann was convinced by her coach to not retire, and to try fighting at 115 at least once.

This will be Molly McCann's debut at 115 pounds.

Considering WMMA already has enough things to worry about, both women retiring and then coming back for one more fight, the new weight class for one girl, and them having already fought before... ...there's no way I'd bet on Molly at her currents odds of -250 to -278.

Seems I've fallen really out of touch with MMA, can't find a single solid play. Thinking Dober is good value but that's about it

Roman Dolidze (12-2) Vs Nassourdine Imavov (12-4)

Surging middleweights are set to collide in the UFC Vegas 85 Main Event.

Dolidze was last seen at UFC 286 losing a unanimous decision in a close fight against top contender Marvin Vettori.

Imavov was last seen at UFC 289 in a bout that was stopped due to an accidental clash of heads against Chris Curtis.

Dolidze holds a UFC record of 6-2 and his two losses were both decision losses. His last two wins have been very impressive picking up stoppages against Jack Hermannson and Phil Hawes. Also of note, one of Imavov losses was to Phil Hawes.

Imavov holds a UFC record of 4-2-1 and has also looked impressive as of lately. He picked up big stoppage wins against Ian Heinisch and Edmen Shabazyan. He also went 5 rounds with Sean Strickland, ultimately losing a unanimous decision.

Both men have never been finished via KO/TKO and the majority of their wins have been by stoppage. This makes me believe that we will be in store for an epic war. There is a reason that the UFC made this the main event.

In my prediction Dolidze will come out on top. I believe he holds the power edge striking and expect for him to be able to capitalize on some big shots early. While I am uncertain if he will get the finish, I am confident he has the skills to win this bout.

Pick: Roman Dolidze ML (+140)

I like Meatball over 77.5 ss best. Over 2 TD's for her too. I think she dominates somewhat similarly to the last time she beat Belbita.

Blake Bilder injury? Crazy last minute line movement

Bilder have any contacts with James Krause perhaps?

Can anyone talk me out of a big play on Dolidze DNB? feel like he’s got all the finishing upside, never been finished and would be especially surprised to see Imavov finish him
