Roman Dolidze | TALE OF THE TAPE | Nassourdine Imavov |
---|---|---|
35 | Age | 28 |
6 ft 3 in | Height | 6 ft 3 in |
76 in | Reach | 75 in |
12-2 | Record | 12-4, 1 no-contest |
Notably younger than his opponent, number-11-ranked middleweight Nassourdine Imavov looks to defeat Roman Dolidze and take his place within the top 10 of the division.
In order to do so, he’ll have to put his most recent performances behind him as Imavov was defeated by former champion Sean Strickland last January and then had his most recent bout against Chris Curtis declared a no-contest after Curtis was deemed unable to continue after an accidental clash of heads.
Dolidze also looks to redeem himself after his last bout. He recently had his impressive four-fight winning streak snapped by the hands of former title challenger Marvin Vettori at UFC 286 last March.
As mentioned, Imavov is the younger man, but otherwise, these two fighters are physical equals with almost the exact same amount of professional fighting experience.
With that said, it is indeed the younger Nassourdine Imavov who is favored to win at -170 at DraftKings.

Renato Moicano | TALE OF THE TAPE | Drew Dober |
---|---|---|
34 | Age | 35 |
5 ft 11 in | Height | 5 ft 8 in |
72 in | Reach | 70 in |
17-5-1 | Record | 27-12, 1 no-contest |
Renato “Money” Moicano earned a lot of fans following his last performance - a first-round submission win over Brad Riddell at UFC 281. That win was a big bounce-back performance after a disappointing decision loss against Rafael dos Anjos.
He takes on fan-favorite slugger Drew Dober, who is also coming off of a big win: a first-round TKO over Ricky Glenn last October. He is 4-1 in his last five, with none of those fights needing the judges’ scorecards.
Moicano has a three-inch height and two-inch reach advantage over Dober and is the -142 favorite at DraftKings in this Saturday’s co-main event.
Randy Brown | TALE OF THE TAPE | Muslim Salikhov |
---|---|---|
33 | Age | 39 |
6 ft 3 in | Height | 5 ft 11 in |
78 in | Reach | 69.5 in |
17-5 | Record | 19-4 |
One of the most experienced fighters on the UFC roster today, Muslim Salikhov has 199 professional kickboxing bouts to his name and is 19-4 as a mixed martial artist. He is also a gold medalist in Sanda.
However, he is just 2-2 over his last four fights and is coming off of a unanimous decision loss against Nicolas Dalby that took place last June.
Salikhov takes on another combat sports veteran in Randy Brown. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt is 5-1 across his last six fights and most recently earned a unanimous decision over Wellington Turman last June.
Randy Brown is a -230 favorite and it’s easy to see why. Brown will stand four inches taller than Salikhov and will have an impressive 8.5-inch reach advantage over the Russian.
Aliaskhab Khizriev | TALE OF THE TAPE | Makhmud Muradov |
---|---|---|
33 | Age | 33 |
5 ft 9 in | Height | 6 ft 2 in |
74 in | Reach | 75.5 in |
14-0 | Record | 26-8 |
Undefeated prospect Aliaskhab Khizriev had four fights canceled before officially making his UFC debut against Deni Tiuliulin, whom he defeated with a rear-naked choke in the second round of their 2022 bout. He has not fought since.
Makhmud Muradov looks to become the first man to defeat Khizriev, and he will have both height and reach advantages in order to help him.
Muradov was on a 14-fight winning streak before dropping back-to-back fights to Gerald Meerschaert and Caio Borralho. However, he recently got his name back in the win column with his unanimous decision win over Bryan Barberena last July.
Despite his experience and physical advantages, Muradov still finds himself as the +154 underdog.
Gilbert Urbina | TALE OF THE TAPE | Charles Radtke |
---|---|---|
27 | Age | 33 |
6 ft 3 in | Height | 5 ft 9 in |
75 in | Reach | 72 in |
7-2 | Record | 8-3 |
A recent Ultimate Fighter contestant, Gilbert Urbina dropped his UFC debut against fellow season alum Bryan Battle. However, he made good on his second attempt in the UFC when he earned a tKO win over Orion Cosce last May.
He takes on Charles Radtke, a fighter who will be making only his second octagon appearance this weekend.
Radtke debuted for the UFC last September and earned a decision win over Mike Mathetha at UFC 293.
At -218 at DraftKings Sportsbook, the taller and longer Gilbert Urbina is the favorite to win this matchup.
Viviane Araujo | TALE OF THE TAPE | Natalia Silva |
---|---|---|
37 | Age | 26 |
5 ft 5 in | Height | 5 ft 4 in |
68 in | Reach | 65 in |
12-5 | Record | 16-5-1 |
Although she is one of the oldest fighters in the division, the number-seven ranked women’s flyweight Viviane Aroujo still has what it takes to compete as she most recently defeated former title challenger Jennifer Maia by decision last October.
That win snapped a two-fight skid,
She takes on Natalia Silva in the main card kick-off fight this Saturday and it won’t be easy. The number-nine-ranked Silva is riding a ten-fight winning streak that includes TKO wins over Tereza Bleda and Victoria Leonardo as well as her most recent decision win over Andrea Lee.
Araujo is the taller and longer fighter, but it is the younger Silva, who, at -340 at DraftKings Sportsbook, is unsurprisingly the biggest betting favorite on the main card this weekend.
