Two years ago, in March 2023, Marvin vettori e Roman Dolidze faced each other for the first time in the Ultimate octagon. On that occasion, the Italian left with his arms raised after winning the victory by unanimous decision after a three-round fight in the UFC 286. Former title challenger Vettori wants to regain ground in the category and get closer to the title fight again. On the other side, Dolidze has the opportunity to erase the defeat suffered by the Italian and prove that he deserves a place among the top names in the category. The Georgian arrives on the back of two consecutive triumphs – over Anthony Smith e Kevin holland – and wants to consolidate his rise in the category, returning the defeat suffered against Vettori.

But if it depends on the bookmakers, Dolidze's plans will probably be thwarted. According to the 'Stake', Vettori is the favorite in the rematch, paying 1,60 against 2,35 for the Georgian fighter.
