Top Georgian UFC middleweight Roman Dolidze shared his opinion with Telecomasia.net on the announcement of his fight with former UFC title challenger Marvin Vettori, which is scheduled to take place on March 18 at UFC 286.
As soon as I was told the UFC was offering a fight with Marvin, I didn't hesitate for a moment, I immediately felt a great desire to fight. I understand how big of an opportunity it is, so we're ready. Vettori, of course, is a good opponent, but everyone in the UFC is a good athlete.
