If Roman Dritze wants to fight the rankings, he needs to look at someone other than Robert Whitaker.
Dorisé won a unanimous decision victory over Marvin Bettori on Saturday, extending his undefeated streak to three, surpassing ninth in the middleweight rankings.
After the victory, the “Caucasian” sought a clash with Whitaker, who is currently sitting as the fifth-place fighter in the division.
In response to his Marcade podcast callout, “The Reaper” has denied any potential showdown with the Georgian Dynasty, revealing that he is only interested in fighting the division, rather than taking a step back. Also, Whittaker was tired of Dorise’s performance against Bettori, so after watching the Fight Night Headliner round and half, I went back to playing video games.
“I actually saw that fight. I looked at the round half and thought, ‘Hey, there’s nothing I can gain from this.” And I went back to Monster Hunter Wild.” “It was exactly like their first fight, just like they were still in the same pub.
“They’re just like, ‘Oh, that’s you.’ And then they started doing the same thing again.

Dolidze also used post-war interviews to seek a fight against former two-time title holder Israel Adesanya. Given that “Izzy” is sitting on a three-game losing streak, he can see Dolidze as a good opportunity to return to his victory column, while also giving Georgian a shot in the top five rankings.
Another fight that makes so much sense for Doritze is Anthony Hernandez. “Fluffy” notched his seventh consecutive victory last month, beating Brendan Allen by decision. The victory moved Harnandez to 8th place in the rankings. This is one of the places Dolidze is currently sitting.
