It is a must-win for Marvin Vettori.
The Italian former UFC middleweight title contender has gone 2-2 within the cage since shedding his title bid to then-champ Israel Adesanya again in the summertime of 2021, taking choice wins over Paulo Costa and Roman Dolidze whereas shedding to Robert Whittaker and Jared Cannonier in that spell.
At this weekend’s UFC occasion, Vettori will as soon as once more tackle Dolidze the place he is aware of that he should repeat the win if he’s to harbour any intentions of advancing in the direction of title competition in a division at present dominated by the champion Dricus du Plessis who underscored his standing as middleweight pacesetter with a latest win over Sean Strickland.
Dolidze, in the meantime, will come into the rematch on the again of successive wins over Kevin Holland and Anthony Smith.
