Roman Dolidze made quite a first impression in his UFC debut on Saturday night.
The undefeated light heavyweight prospect capped off his fight against Khadis Ibragimov with a brutal head kick that ultimately connected flush with a knee to his opponent’s jaw. Ibragimov slumped down to the ground after eating the shot and a few more punches ultimately ended the fight.
The official stoppage time came at 4:15 into the opening round.
“I’m very happy,” Dolidze said after his win. “He was a good opponent, tough opponent. I don’t like when someone looked at me like he did yesterday.
