Marvin vettori is probably the smartest fighter ever , right after Tito Ortiz. He just forgot his cup 👏

I have it 10-9 Dolidze after a close, tactical first round.

10-9 Vettori. Close round but Dolidze needs to change levels to make Vettori respect the takedown threat! This will open up his striking #UFCVegas104

A warning issued for fingers extended. A second later an eye poke. And then another warning.

Why have rules???#UFCVegas104

19-19. Very competitive so far. One of these fighters needs to take a big risk in order to gain momentum and possibly finish the fight #UFCVegas104

29-28 Vettori. Dolidze is overly reliant on his right hook. He needs to keep firing the low kick and look to mix in some wrestling to get back on track #UFCVegas104

Very even scrap but I have Dolidze up on the score cards. Finishing this round strong should seal the win for the Georgian powerhouse #UFCVegas104

48-47 Dolidze. Great display of improvement and resilience by Roman Dolidze. Top 10! #UFCVegas104
