If Roman Dolidze wants to fight up the rankings, he’s gonna have to look to someone other than Robert Whittaker.
Dolidze landed a unanimous decision victory over Marvin Vettori on Saturday, extending his unbeaten streak to three and overtaking the No. 9 spot in the middleweight rankings.
Following the win, ‘The Caucasian’ called for a clash with Whittaker who currently sits as the fifth-ranked fighter in the division.
Reacting to the callout on his MMArcade podcast, ‘The Reaper’ was dismissive of a potential showdown with the Georgian, making it clear that he’s only interested in fighting up the division rather than taking a step back down.
