UFC Vegas 104 Recap

Top middleweight contenders No. 8 ranked Vettori and No. 12 ranked Dolidze ran it back in the main event. The fight started much as their first encounter: Vettori landing thudding kicks and Dolidze using powerful combinations.

Dolidze ramped up his combinations in the second, then Vettori came back with a knock down in the third. They continued punch for punch in the fourth and fifth, with Dolidze's output and damaging strikes earning him both rounds and the unanimous decision.

Following the win, Dolidze said, "First of all, I want to say big thanks to Marvin, he agreed to fight me. Second of all, was big and important test for me, mentally so I can go five rounds.

On his next fight, Dolidze called out two former champions, "I deserve a top five fight 100% and there are two realistic fights for me. It's (Robert) Whittaker or a (Israel) Adesanya. Just give me day, that's all I need!"

In the co-main event, Chidi Njokuani used his brilliant Muay Thai against Elizeu dos Santos in a very quick one-round affair. Picture perfect double knees landed square, sending dos Santos to the canvas, where Njokuani pounded for the win by technical knock out.

After the stoppage, Njokuani said, "I was coming here prepared for a three-round war. I don't know what I hit him with, but it ended the fight earlier. Low key I was waiting for his spins. We practiced that a lot throughout camp and it went exactly how we trained. My next fight, I need a top 15 opponent!"

Also on the main card, Alexander Hernandez earned a decision win over Kurt Holobaugh, while Da'Mon Blackshear, Brendson Ribeiro and Kevin Vallejos finished their respective opponents.

In the preliminary card, ROAD TO UFC Season 3 tournament winner SuYoung You put his "You jitsu" on full display in his UFC debut against A.J. Cunningham in a bantamweight bout.

Cunningham had a distinct size and reach advantage, but wasn't able to use it against the stifling, high flying takedowns of You. Not only a grappler, You showed off damaging strikes that cut Cunningham and it earned him the shut out unanimous decision on the scorecards.

After landing his debut win in the UFC on Saturday (March 15), You said, "Everything went to plan for the most part. I prepared a lot of counter strikes, but that didn't go as well as I wanted to."

The prelims also saw Sam Hughes earn a close win over Yuneisy Duben, while Carli Judice, Priscila Cachoeira, Andre Lima, Carlos Vera and Waldo Cortes-Acosta landed stoppage wins in their respective bouts. Here is a look at the final results of UFC on ESPN+ 112:
