Vettori vs. Dolidze: Prediction & Betting odds
Marvin Vettori is ranked 8th in the UFC middleweight division, while Roman Dolidze is ranked 12th.
Two years ago, in March 2023, the two faced off in a UFC cage. Back then, Vettori won by decision after five rounds.
Will Vettori win again in the rematch or will Dolidze get revenge?
Marvin Vettori is an old hand at the UFC. The Italian has been competing in the premier class of MMA since 2016.
Vettori had his best period from 2019 to 2021 when he celebrated five wins in a row. The reward for this run of success: a title shot. However, “The Italian Dream” lost this to Israel Adesanya.
After that, things went only mixed for the 31-year-old from Trento. He won two and lost two of the next four fights. He got one of those two wins against Roman Dolidze.
Vettori was last in the cage in June 2023. He was beaten by Jared Cannonier…
Vettori vs. Dolidze head-to-head comparison
Roman Dolidze has won his last two UFC fights. Most recently, the 36-year-old Georgian defeated Kevin Holland by TKO in round 1 in October 2024. Before that, he defeated Anthony Smith by decision after five rounds.
Before these two successes, however, “The Caucasian” had to cope with two defeats. First against Vettori and immediately afterwards against Nassourdine Imavov. Both times Dolidze lost by decision of the judges.
These two defeats were special in that Dolidze has only lost an MMA fight three times in his career. He has won 14 of his 17 fights! And of these 14 wins, the Georgian took 8 by knockout.
However, the Vettori vs. Dolidze betting odds show that the Italian is sent into the cage as the favorite for this European duel…
