Marvin Vettori and Roman Dolidze Set for High-Stakes Rematch at UFC Vegas 104

Marvin Vettori and Roman Dolidze are ready to reignite their rivalry in the main event of UFC Vegas 104 on March 15 at the UFC APEX. The middleweight contenders, currently ranked No. 7 and No. 10 in the division, first squared off at UFC 286 in 2023, with Vettori earning a hard-fought unanimous decision victory. Now, both fighters return to settle unfinished business in a highly anticipated rematch.


Since their first meeting, Vettori has faced tough competition, suffering a unanimous decision loss to Jared Cannonier later in 2023. Dolidze, on the other hand, rebounded impressively after losing to Nassourdine Imavov. He stepped up to light heavyweight to secure a short-notice win against Anthony Smith and then returned to middleweight to deliver a stunning finish of Kevin Holland at UFC 307 this past October.


The rematch is expected to carry significant implications for the middleweight title picture, with both fighters seeking to climb the rankings. Vettori, a former title challenger, aims to reestablish himself as a top contender, while Dolidze looks to avenge his previous loss and extend his winning streak.


In addition to the headliner, UFC Vegas 104 will feature several exciting matchups. A light heavyweight bout between Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Ryan Spann, as well as a flyweight contest between Andre Lima and Daniel Barez, have already been announced for the card.


As fight night approaches, fans can anticipate an intense showdown between two of the division's most determined competitors. The question remains: will Vettori prove his dominance again, or will Dolidze even the score and continue his ascent?
