UFC wraps up a three-week stand in Las Vegas this weekend with UFC Fight Night: Vettori vs. Dolidze 2, live from UFC APEX, Mar. 15, on ESPN+ (English and Spanish) and SiriusXM Fight Nation, with the main card at 7 p.m. ET and Prelims beginning at 4 p.m.

Main Event

  • Two years after their first meeting, middleweights Marvin Vettori and Roman Dolidze meet again in a rematch main event. Vettori (19-7-1) returns for the first time since June 2023, looking to continue proving himself as one of the best in the world with victories over Paulo Costa, Kevin Holland, and Jack Hermansson. He aims to replicate his 2023 win over Dolidze and make a statement in the division. Dolidze (14-3) has stayed active, fighting three times last year and securing back-to-back victories following a decision loss to Nassourdine Imavov. A dangerous finisher with 11 stoppage victories, he looks to become the first fighter to finish Vettori with a standout performance.

Co-Main Event

  • Veteran welterweights Chidi Njokuani and Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos square off in a clash of dynamic strikers in Saturday’s co-main event. Njokuani (24-10, 1 NC) found success in his move to welterweight last year, earning back-to-back decision wins. Dos Santos (25-8-1), a longtime staple of the division, looks to build on his first-round stoppage win last November after splitting results earlier in the year.
