The UFC was again on the Apex on Saturday, March 15 for UFC Vegas 104. The principle occasion noticed Roman Dolidze rematching Marvin Vettori.
Dolidze was coming off a TKO victory over Kevin Holland which was his second-straight win. Vettori, in the meantime, hadn’t fought since June of 2023 when he dropped a call to Jared Cannonier.
In the end, it was Dolidze who obtained his revenge from the primary battle as he beat Vettori by decision. Following UFC Vegas 104, here’s what I believe needs to be subsequent for the middleweight contenders after Saturday’s consequence.
Roman Dolidze
Roman Dolidze is now on a three-fight profitable streak and is within the combine at middleweight. Dolidze did get harm in opposition to Vettori however exterior of that early scare, he seemingly cruised to a win as he was in a position to land the higher pictures and was extra lively on the toes.
Following the win at UFC Vegas 104, Dolidze is now a top-10 middleweight and will get a giant battle and a possible predominant occasion subsequent. A logical subsequent battle for Dolidze is to tackle Jared Cannonier. It’s a step up in competitors for Dolidze to see if he really is a title contender, whereas Cannonier is a gatekeeper right now to get into the highest 5. It’s a probable Apex predominant occasion someday in the summertime.
Marvin Vettori
Marvin Vettori was ending his almost two-year-long layoff, and he got here up brief in opposition to Roman Dolidze at UFC Vegas 104. Vettori was outstruck in quantity, and though he did harm Dolidze at one level, he didn’t have a lot going his method within the battle.
With the loss, Vettori is now on a two-fight shedding streak and is 1-3 in his final 4. The Italian must fight behind him and will face the winner of Michel Pereira vs Abus Magomedov in April. The timing works out for the battle to occur in late summer time as a Combat Night time predominant occasion or on a pay-per-view predominant card.
