Marvin Vettori will return after nearly two years away from the octagon to give Roman Dolidze a shot at redemption. Former UFC title challenger Vettori (19-7-1 MMA, 9-5-1 UFC) will rematch Dolidze (13-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) in the UFC Fight Night 254 main event March 15 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas ( ESPN+ ). Two people with knowledge of the matchup informed MMA Junkie of the booking following an initial report from X user @MagicM_MMABets . The first meeting between the pair took place at UFC 286 in March 2023, with Vettori earning a unanimous decision victory . The Italian has only competed once since then with a brutal loss to Jared Cannonier in June 2023.
