The UFC is finalizing the first fight for its return to the United Kingdom.
Brett Okamoto of ESPN reports that middleweights Marvin Vettori and Roman Dolidze are expected to share the Octagon at UFC 286, the upcoming pay-per-view event scheduled for March 18 at the O2 Arena in London, England. Dolidze confirmed the report on social media.
In his most recent appearance, Vettori suffered a unanimous decision loss to Robert Whittaker at UFC Paris in September. That fight saw a return from light heavyweight to middleweight for the ‘Italian Dream,’ who briefly moved up against Paulo Costa at UFC Vegas 41 in October.
