Roman Dolidze fired back at Robert Whittaker for criticizing his past fight at UFC Fight Night 254. Dolidze (14-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC)  called out both Israel Adesanya and Whittaker (26-8 MMA, 17-6 UFC) after avenging his loss to Marvin Vettori in their main event earlier this month at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Whittaker shut down the callout. The former UFC middleweight champion said Dolidze’s rematch with Vettori was a continuation of their first fight at UFC 286 , and resembled a pub brawl
