Is it time to get onto the Marvin Vettori (GOATtori?) hype train?

[The Accuser]

First his impressive win vs Hermansson (whom I was rooting for). Then this interview which is sure to make you a fan:




"Israel is full of shit"
"Guess what motherfukcer, I'm here" (in reference that Izzy said he would never see him again)
"He thinks he has it all figured out. He has got nothing figured out. I know his true colors."

What an entertainig guy! Let's get his hype train rolling, sherbros!

Is it to early for GOATtori?

never tasting gold
pfp most annoying face in mma

Already the GOAT Italian MMArtist having surpassed the Apocalyptic fighter Alessio Sakara.

though to be fair I think Shogun has some Italian heritage but in terms of nationality yeah gotta go with Vettori.

Vettori vs. Izzy 2 is even better than Costa from a hype perspective because they have the previous bout and they are both ultra confident dudes who talk incessantly.

I can already see the profanity-laden tirade in the hotel lobby coming.

I like both guys- talented fighters for sure. I think id be rooting for Izzy but Vettori will probably give him a hell of a fight and does have the potential to win it if he mixes things up well.

 

[Buckland]

If Vettori Ko'd Izzy in a rematch it would be amazing, Bisping vs. Rockhold esque.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Marvin has improved greatly and loves to scrap. I didn't think he'd get this far. He's also honest about his own performances which is good to see.

Should be some decent fights at the top of the division, curious to see how it all plays out

How are you people able to function from day to day when you’re expending all this energy being hyped about every fighter who wins a fight? I feel exhausted just reading it all.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

jack should’ve beat him idk what that was tbh, vettori seems mad strong with really good TDD though. not getting gold though, and no he didnt almost beat israel and it wasnt that close.

 

[Sirwastealot]

GOATTORI?

TS please dont be that guy.

 

[Mebetter]

Didn't this kid get busted by USADA after the Stylebender fight? https://www.mmafighting.com/2018/10/29/18039226/marvin-vettori-reveals-usada-violation

 

[chardog]

looked like a solid fighter, but that interview was hard to watch for some reason. Maybe his face?

GOATTORI SON!!!!! Italian GOAT

What is going through Olivi's head when she is sitting next to this Italian Stallion while her pocket sized hubby just lost a bunch in a row.

Right? He got the accent too. Joe B. Doesn’t stand a chance.

 

[bleeder]

Vettori is young and improving and the exact type of gritty grappler I love to see the most. Hope he continues on his path, can definitely see him winning the belt and will root for him during his journey

 

[TheChosenKing]

I think MMA fans, and sports fans in general, have been reduced to little more than idol worshipers. Its not even about the sport anymore. Its just a bunch of guys constantly searching out the next man to endlessly praise and live vicariously through.

 

[Street Bishop]

He's so obviously juiced to the gills it's hilarious

 

[Motivated BJ Penn]

He might have the skillset to beat Izzy. Gritty strong grappler with decent striking who's got a decent chin and is not afraid to eat some shots to get inside. Unlike "Loose Booty"...

 

[JayPettryMMA]

You guys just love to ruin fighters, don't you.

 

[Kryptt]

Was a great scrap!

I picked Herm but Vett was too much for the Joker.

Will be good to see where it all ends up.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Not really a hype train if you crack the top 5. You're a legit top fighter. Whether or not he touches the gold is another but I do think if Izzy vacates Marvin will be competitive against Costa and Whitaker
