Impact For all Dolidze's faults, and he's been trending in the wrong direction for a year-plus now, he typically gives a reasonable enough effort even when he comes up short. Not this evening. Roman foolishly attempted to pull guard just seconds into the fight. He ended up on the bottom and was never able to recover. All told, Dolidze absorbed 106 strikes, including 71 of the significant variety before referee Frank Trigg had seen enough. If the fight was stopped considerably earlier, nobody would have complained. Now 38 years of age, Roman has lost three straight fights on the heels of a three-fight winning streak. One would think his roster spot is secure given his past body of work, but it's far from guaranteed.
