Main event: Marvin Vettori vs. Roman Dolidze

In the main event, No. 8-ranked middleweight contender Marvin Vettori faced No.12-ranked Roman Dolidze. The fight was the rematch of their first meeting at UFC 286, which Vettori won by unanimous decision.

Both fighters started cautiously as they tried to gauge their range. However, Vettori had more success with his attacks to Dolidze's head and legs. His counterpunching made Dolidze's striking increasingly hesitant as the rounds progressed.

In Round 3, Vettori delivered a powerful punch that visibly stunned Dolidze. The Georgian fighter attempted a takedown to recover but was unsuccessful.

Despite struggling in Round 3, Dolidze seemed to be the fresher fighter as they entered the fourth round. He consistently pressured Vettori with a variety of strikes and began to string together longer combinations, while Vettori's output significantly decreased, and his movements appeared more labored.

Both fighters showed urgency in the final round, exchanging strikes. Although Dolidze statistically outlanded Vettori, he bore more visible damage on his face by the time the final bell rang.

All three judges scored four rounds in Dolidez's favor, declaring him the winner by unanimous decision.
