Roman Dolidze got his revenge on Marvin Vettori, taking a unanimous decision victory in their main event rematch this past Saturday at UFC Vegas 104. It was a hard-fought battle that even saw Vettori hurt Dolidze in the third round, but “The Caucasian” overcame the moment to win four rounds and all three judges’ scorecards and earn a spot as a top-10 middleweight.
Following Saturday’s return to the APEX, MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew and José Youngs react to Dolidze’s impressive performance over Vettori, discuss if Dolidze is a serious title threat at 185 pounds and where he goes from here, chop it up about the numerous finishes that happened on the undercard, choose their favorite performance from the night, talk about the various prospects who showed out (and some who fell short), and much more.

Manel Kape ended up with a replacement opponent, took care of business in emphatic—if somewhat controversial—fashion and now looks to still be on track to fight for the UFC flyweight championship. Has he done enough to spoil plans for a rumored Alexandre Pantoja vs. Kai Kara-France title fight?
On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss whether the UFC should make a hard pivot to Pantoja vs. Kape, a rematch of a February 2021 bout that Pantoja won by decision in what was Kape’s UFC debut. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Cody Brundage after a wild win over Julian Marquez, under-the-radar lightweight contender Nasrat Haqparast after he scored his fifth straight victory, plus where to go with the undefeated Hyder Amil and the streaking Sam Patterson.
All that, plus an avalanche of outstanding listener picks.
