H2H Stats Fights and Previous Results
Marvin Vettori Player Overview
The Italian athlete is a versatile fighter, possessing a granite chin and good grappling skills. Vettori entered mixed martial arts in 2012. After several bouts, Marvin participated in the grand prix of the local organization Venator FC, became the champion, and successfully defended his title. With a record of 11-2, "The Italian Dream" joined Dana White's promotion. Initially, Vettori's career was marked by mixed success, alternating between victories and defeats. However, in 2019, the Italian began a winning streak that lasted five fights in a row and led Marvin to a title shot. However, he lost to Israel Adesanya for the second time. Since then, Vettori's results have been mixed again, with a total of 19 wins and 7 losses (one bout ended in a draw).

Roman Dolidze Player Overview
The Georgian fighter began his professional career in 2016, with a strong background in grappling and boxing. Starting confidently with a 6-0 record, he caught the attention of the UFC and signed a contract with the league. Dolidze quickly established himself as one of the most promising fighters, impressing with spectacular performances-three of his fights were awarded the "Performance of the Night" bonus. However, as the level of his opponents increased, weaknesses in his technique and stamina began to show. Roman suffered defeats to Marvin Vettori and Nassourdine Imavov but managed to get back on the winning track by defeating Anthony Smith (by unanimous decision) and Kevin Holland (by technical knockout) this year. He currently has 14 wins and 3 losses.

Editors' Prediction
The first encounter between the athletes was not rich in bright moments. Both fighters, being primarily wrestlers, decided not to use grappling skills and worked exclusively in stand-up, where Vettori showed himself better. Also, note the fact that in a combined total of 44 fights, neither fighter has ever lost prematurely: even the UFC themselves posted separately about this. Based on this logic, we confidently recommend betting on the full fight.
