On a turbulent night at UFC Vegas 104, Roman Dolidze solidified his rising star status by claiming victory over Marvin Vettori in a unanimous decision. This long-awaited showdown took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, on March 15, 2025, marking a significant moment in Dolidze’s career as he inches closer to a top-10 Middleweight ranking.
Merely hours after stepping out of the octagon, Vettori took to social media to address his fans, reflecting on his heartbreaking loss. “Just a few cuts and bruises,” he assured followers on his Instagram Story. Yet, the disappointment was palpable. “Man, even when you pour your heart and soul into something, life can just knock the wind out of you. It was a tight fight, and I felt I almost had it in the third round. But, it just didn’t swing my way. Honestly, I’m at a loss for words right now. It’s just frustrating.”
Known as “The Italian Dream,” Vettori faces a challenging moment in his illustrious career, currently experiencing his first-ever losing streak with two back-to-back losses. Out of his last four fights, he’s managed to clinch only one victory, facing tough competitors like Robert Whittaker and Jared Cannonier along the way.
However, at just 31 years of age, there’s plenty of time for Vettori to regroup and mount a comeback. The question buzzing among fans and analysts alike is whether a face-off with Brendan Allen might be the next chapter for Vettori’s journey.
