UFC Fight Night: Roman Dolidze vs Laureano Staropoli
Roman ‘The Caucasian’ is coming off the first loss of his professional career after he lost a decision to Trevin Giles. Dolidze is part of the Georgian revolution taking place in the UFC with surging names like Merab Dvalishvili and Giga Chikadze. While Roman Dolidze hasn’t found the same success as his counterparts, he’s looking to make a statement on Saturday night.
The Extreme Couture standout relies heavily on his explosiveness and athleticism that usually translates into violent KO’s. He’s heavy on his lead leg and has accrued some quick finishes by darting in and out of range. Not to mention, his ground game is as solid as they come with two wins via heel hook in just nine pro fights.
