Roman Dolidze Bio

Roman Dolidze is a Georgian mixed martial artist from Batumi, Georgia, who competes in the UFC. As of September 11, 2026, the UFC lists him as an active light heavyweight and identifies Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas as his training base. Dolidze was born on July 15, 1988, stands 6 feet 2 inches tall, and fights from an orthodox stance. Before focusing on MMA, he played soccer and later developed a grappling background while studying.

Dolidze turned professional in 2016 and made his UFC debut on July 18, 2020. His route to the promotion was unconventional: UFC’s profile says he first put on gloves at 28 and had no amateur MMA experience. He has cited leg locks as a favorite grappling technique, reflecting a game built around submission threats, while his UFC history also includes prominent stoppage victories. Outside competition, he earned a master’s degree in economics and management after beginning his education in naval engineering. His listed grappling accomplishments include an ADCC Asia & Oceania championship and world and European grappling titles.
