Roman Dolidze Shifts Focus from Robert Whittaker to Israel Adesanya

Roman Dolidze prefers Israel Adesanya over Robert Whittaker as a potential opponent.

Dolidze scored a unanimous decision over Marvin Vettori in the UFC Vegas 104 headliner earlier this month. “The Caucasian” subsequently called out Whittaker, who has since turned down the matchup, saying he has nothing to gain from it. “Bobby Knuckles” also called the bout between Dolidze and Vettori a bar fight.

Dolidze believes Whittaker isn’t in a position to talk in that manner while noting that the former champion has been finished multiple times in his career.
