Nassourdine Imavov will face Roman Dolidze in the main event of their UFC Fight Night card on February 4 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The Frenchman of Russian origin is looking to bounce back from a forgettable 2023 and will be looking to make a statement against the Georgian, Dolidze.

A victory over the #9 Dolidze will help the #11 ranked middleweight break into the top ten of the division and help him notch up a victory after losing to Sean Strickland last year. As he gears for the fateful bout, let us take a look at the losses on his record.

Who has Nassourdine Imavov lost to?

Nassourdine Imavov was born in Khasavyurt, Dagestan, Russia but moved to France as a child, where he took up boxing at the age of nine. After being introduced to mixed martial arts at the age of 18, Imavov took an immediate liking to the sport. He moved to Paris to train under Fernand Lopez soon after and turned pro a few years later.

The Frenchman has a record of twelve wins and four losses, along with one no-contest in his professional MMA career, with two of these losses coming in the UFC. His first loss came on his professional debut in 2016, at the hands of Majdeddine Ayadi at 100% Fight 27. Imavov submitted to a guillotine choke in the first round of their welterweight bout.

He came back strongly, however, and put together a three-fight win streak until he lost to Michal Michalski at FEN 19 in 2017 via a unanimous decision after three rounds. His third loss came in the UFC when he suffered a close, majority decision loss against Phil Hawes at UFC Fight Night 185. Last year, Imavov suffered his fourth loss against Sean Strickland at UFC Fight Night 217. He lost by unanimous decision after five rounds in a battle that followed Kelvin Gastelum’s withdrawal.

Dolidze vs. Imavov set for February 4

On paper, the middleweight bout between Imavov and Dolidze seems like an interesting matchup. Although Dolidze possesses excellent grappling skills, he is not afraid to mix things up on his feet and holds significant power in both hands.

Imavov, on the other hand, is a highly skillful and versatile attacker who uses his length and mobility to keep opponents at bay. His sharp jab, combined with his versatile kicks, and a strong takedown defense, is expected to prove challenging for the Georgian. What are your predictions for Dolidze vs. Imavov?
