Roman Dolidze vs Nassourdine Imavov Betting Preview
Even though these upcoming UFC fights this weekend are underrated by the casual audience, this main event proves to be a matchup between two elite talents. To arrive at the official Dolidze vs. Imavov prediction, let’s first break down this matchup technically and preview the available betting odds.
According to UFC odds, Imavov is coming into this week as the -160 betting favorite over the +140 Dolidze at BetUS. A favored o2.5 round total at -160 suggests that oddsmakers foresee this fight extending into rounds 4 and 5.
Both fighters’ styles have propelled them to the top of their UFC divisions, showcasing their technical prowess in the sport. Dolidze has the grappling advantage with his submission grappling background and style, but Imavov can hold his own.
Imavov sees himself on a losing streak since he hasn’t raised his hand in triumph since September 2022. This might help his performance, or he might let the frustration take him off of his focus.
The forward pressure of Dolidze early on will be a big test for Imavov to handle, along with the cardio of Dolidze over 25 minutes. The longer this fight goes, the more in favor Imavov will be because of his style and pacing.
Roman Dolidze vs Nassourdine Imavov Betting Prediction
The next month promises weekly UFC fights, and this main event sets the tone for an exciting start. Our official Dolidze vs. Imavov prediction is that Dolidze will get his hand raised.
