The UFC doesn't want Dolidze's departure from the middleweight division

UFC middleweight Roman Dolidze has revealed that the promotion doesn't want him to leave the middleweight division.

"There were conversations and there was this nuance there: they told me that they don't want me to leave 84 kg. That is, if I'm ready to fight there and there, then I get the fight. I said: "Sure. But you've already said that a lot of opponents are getting taken down. You named some names that were even before Imavov. There's three or four people there, too." Before the fight with Imavov, I waited seven months and went home without getting an opponent. But this time I did. Although at first I was here for two months and went home again. And I think that when I will be in two weights, it will be much more convenient to pick up opponents, and I will not be left without fights. It's such a gameplan for me for the future," Dolidze said.
