Like many fighters in the UFC Vettori started
training in combat sports at a very young
age.
Born in Trento, Italy, Vettori started training
in kickboxing by the time he was 13.
Inspired by pride legends such as Mirko
Cro Cop Filipovic, Vittori set out to
London to begin serious MMA training.
After gathering an impressive 10 to 2
record in the European circuit, Vettori made
his UFC debut at UFC 202 against Alberto Pereira.
Oh.
Good looks.
Can he get?
In round one, Vettori got Pereira into a
guillotine choke and forced him to tap,
securing Vettori of victory by submission.
After a unanimous decision loss at UFC
207, Vettori came back to face Vitor Miranda at
UFC fight.
You've got to go hard if you get taken down like
the way that Vettori was able to do.
Miranda chops at that leg again and gets taken
down for the second time in the fight,.
This time Vettori would come out with the win by
unanimous decision.
Vettori had a shaky start at the beginning
of his UFC career, but he was one of the first
fighters to give Israel Adesanya a run for his
money.
At UFC fight
Night Vettori would face Adesanya well before
Izzy was the middleweight champion.
They feel like Vettori's biting on the fake.
They're telling Israel to take his head off the
line when he throws his right hand.
Israel said, you know, kind of started to cook
him in the first round.
We fry him in the second.
So look for him to pick up the pace in round
number two.
Passes by like a pair of pants and then just
slide them right up and took away the attempt
from Vettori.
It ended up a close fight.
But of course, Adesanya came out with a win by
split decision. Soon after this fight for was
banned by the Anti-Doping Agency for
testing positive for ostarine. After they
determined it was only the result of dietary
supplements
Vettori was allowed back in the octagon .
Following his return to the octagon, Vettori
would face Cezar Ferrera and Andrew Sanchez at
UFC Fight Nights, where Marvin would win both of
these events
by unanimous decision. It was becoming clear
that Vettori was climbing up the
competitive ladder. At UFC fight night
Vettori would face Carl Roberson and win a
submission victory and a performance of the night
award all in the first round.
That opportunity kept him busy.
He's got that choke in. 40 seconds to go.
Vettori's been waiting for it. Takes less than
a round to take care of it.
Vettori would win his first fight of the night
award at another UFC fight night when he
faced Jack Hermansen.
Oh, nice job.
Oh, the hand speed of Marvin Vettori on
display early.
Vettori came out with another win by unanimous
decision.
Finally and his most recent fight Vettori
faced Kevin Holland at UFC on ABC and dominated
every round, winning with ease.
Everything is different right now for Holland
because he can'It see out of that eye. Guess
he didn't want to admit it, but you could see it
with the way he's holding.
It's probably difficult to see, but he did it
again, pulled him back, dropped his knee, got
his angle.
Marvin Vettori has improved tremendously
over the course of his mixed martial arts
career here in the UFC.
Yeah,.
Vettori has been racking up wins and proving
himself again and again.
And finally he gets a chance to prove himself
when he faces the champion.
Vettori will face Israel Adesanya at UFC 263 on
June 12th, 2021.
We can't wait to see how it all goes down.
