Roman Dolidze is a Georgian bruiser who didn't start MMA until age 28 and still fought his way into the middleweight top 15. He mixes raw physical strength, clinch grappling, and sneaky leg-lock skills with legitimate knockout power. Back-to-back losses to Anthony Hernandez and Christian Leroy Duncan have him moving up to light heavyweight, the division where he began his UFC run. At 38, this is likely his last big push, and a bigger, stronger Dolidze at 205 could be a problem.
