Almost two years after being defeated by Marvin Vettori at UFC 286 , Roman Dolidze has the opportunity to return the favor in the main event this Saturday (15), in the Ultimate's return to the Apex. Amid this, the Georgian, who is on a two-fight winning streak, said he has learned from the mistakes he made in the first fight.

In an interview with the American website 'Bloody Elbow' on YouTube , Dolidze highlighted the Italian's resilience, noting that he has never been defeated by stoppage in 27 professional fights.
“Marvin is a very durable fighter, he is tough. I expect him to be in the best shape for our fight, but I think I am more prepared now because I know exactly what he will do, how he moves and how he reacts,” analyzed the fighter, currently ranked 12th in the middleweight category (up to 83,9 kg).

Although Vettori has already shared the octagon with big names, such as Israel Adesanya and Jared Cannonier , the Georgian still believes he possesses the skills and knockout power to beat him in under 25 minutes.
“The main thing I can highlight is that he is a very durable guy, it is difficult to finish him. Deep down, I still want to be the first one to stop him, I will do everything to do so,” he concluded.
