To keep it all the way real, you could easily score that fight 29-28 Vettori with Round 1 and 3 being his.
Just saw the fight, honestly there was nothing elite about his striking in those first two rounds. His defence was good but he wasn't landing anything significant either. I could see the first round going either way tbh.
Yep. I thought Israel won the fight by winning 1 and 2, but it doesn't take a huge stretch to see how someone could have given the first to Vettori. It was a much closer fight that Mr. Adesanya is admitting to himself.
You could definitely see flashes of what has people excited about his striking, but the guy has a lot of work to do if he wants to succeed in MMA. I think we'll see him give better performances, and hopefully despite the postfight rhetoric this fight was a bit of a wake up call for him.
