The UFC Fight Night 235 weigh-ins took place, and now the 13-fight card is now official.
The pride of Georgia, Dolidze (12-2) is coming off a disappointing setback to Marvin Vettori. Prior to the decision defeat, "The Caucasian" had won four straight fights inside the promotion. This includes knockout wins over Jack Hermansson and Phil Hawes. Dolidze officially weighed 186 pounds on the dot.
Meanwhile, Imavov (12-4, 1 NC) hasn't won since 2022. The French fighter is looking to bounce back from a rough 2023 that saw him lose a decision to Sean Strickland, and a fight against Chris Curtis declared a no-contest after a clash of heads. Prior to the disappointments, Imavov had put together three straight wins over the likes of Joaquin Buckley and Edmen Shahbazyan. Imavov stepped on the scale weighing 185 pounds exactly.
UFC Fight Night 235 will air in its entirety on ESPN+. Prelims begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT before the main card starts at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
