Khadis Ibragimov ducked what sure looked like an incoming head kick from Roman Dolidze in the first round of their fight Saturday. Dolidze (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC), however, had other plans. The light heavyweight out of the Republic of Georgia turned what looked like a head kick into a knee on the drop of a dime. Ibagimov (8-3 MMA, 0-3 UFC), for his part, put his face right in the path of the knee, and that ended the fight pretty much on the spot. It went into the books as a TKO at the 4:15 mark of the first round for Dolidze in the featured preliminary bout of UFC on ESPN+ 30 at Flash Forum at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. And it made for one impressive debut for Dolidze, who has finishes in all seven of his professional fights.
