In the first fight booked for UFC 286 in London, former middleweight title challenger Marvin Vettori will meet the dangerous Georgian Roman Dolidze, who recently climbed up the rankings as he defeated Sweden’s Jack Hermansson.

ESPN was first to report the news.

Vettori has fought the absolute top of the division in his last fights, and comes from a unanimous decision loss over Robert Whittaker at UFC Paris in September.

UFC 286 takes place March 18 at O2 Arena and will be a banger of a card according to UFC president Dana White.
