Vettori fought intelligently today by repeatedly taking down a heavy handed opponent.
But in doing so he ensured Adesanya, as long as he is champion, never agrees to a title fight with him.
There are many fighters who possess the ability to take there opponent down every round, and ground and pound them, but not many that ultimately end up receiving title shots do so.
Marvin is going to probably go up a spot to #5, but there is absolutely no chance Adesanya willingly ever fights an opponent like him who has shown a propsenity for that style of fighting. For reasons the Polish Powerhouse exposed.
Maybe he fights Jared Cannonier in 6 month on the main card of Adesanyas title defense, but he definitely will not be the one challenging.... ever
If Marvin wants to go to a division where this style of fighting is more accepted by the champ, perhaps he could move down to WW.
The Italian Dream is over
