Roman Dolidze vs. Kyle Daukaus rebooked for UFC Fight Night on June 18

An exciting middleweight fight has been rebooked for an upcoming UFC Fight Night event.

Kyle Daukauswill meet Roman Dolidze on June 18. The event does not yet have a confirmed location or venue. Both Daukaus (11-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) and Dolidze (9-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) announced the matchup on social media, which was previously set to take place in November. However, the initial matchup was scratched due to COVID-19 protocols.

Daukaus, 29, is on the heels of a first-round, buzzer-beating submission victory against Jamie Pickett at UFC Fight Night 201 in February. The finish earned him a Performance of the Night bonus, as he bounced back into the win column following a loss to Phil Hawes and a no contest result against Kevin Holland.

Dolidze, 33, will look to keep his winning ways together as well, coming off a unanimous decision win over Laureano Staropoli in June 2021. After a year away from action due to heath issues, Dolidze has the opportunity to make it two wins in a row.

With the addition, the June 18 lineup includes:

  • Julian Marquez vs. Wellington Turman
  • Roman Dolidze vs. Kyle Daukaus
  • Phil Hawes vs. Deron Winn
