Vettori underrated?

[hswrestler]

He did very well in this fight. Didn't win the fight by a long shot and absorbed many leg kicks but stalled Adesanya enough and avoided Adesanya's power shots to his body/head.

Definetely did better than Costa or Whittaker.

He clearly is not champ material, but may be #2 mw right now. Either that or Izzy just had a horrible performance. Really wasn't landing any power shots except for leg kicks and even these didn't really slow him.

While he isn't a master of any discipline, his strength and durability is such that Izzy couldn't really faze him.

Imo its pretty clear that
1. Izzy
2. Vettori
3. Whittaker
4. Brunson/Costa

He definitely controlled where the fight went and was more aggressive.
He actually landed punches too. Something Izzy didn't do too mcuh.
The kid is going places, but you def need to "beat the champ" to be the champ. You can't eek out a win if everyone thinks Izzy is magical because he has head movement.

He did well as a punching bag...

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

Are you implying he's better than Whittaker?

 

[TreeOfWoe]

He looked mediocre, didn't Cordeiro think to drill checking low kicks? Jan completely shut down Adesanya's kicking game by checking every kick he threw. Vettori was just head hunting, the takedown attempts had no set up either.

I didn’t think anyone could beat Costa in that division other than Izzy and Rob but now I think Marvin can.

Izzy 50-45'd him, it wasn't close

Issue is none of these punches actually had an effect, similar to Izzy's takedowns. Neither really hurt the other, except Izzy somewhat thorugh leg kicks

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

He's extremely overrated, performed just like the exact same way as the first fight as I predicted. Despite what ufc employees will brainwash you to believe for their own personal agendas.

I dont actually remember Izzy really landing any punches...

Now a kickingbag, that's a different story

Izzy landed more leg kicks, sure, but Vertori was lighting Izzy up and backing him up.

 

[podsox]

He’s an overachiever imo. He does nothing great but is a workhorse

I honestly don't know if its izzy overrated or vettori underrated but Izzy really couldn't slow vettori even with the leg kicks. I'd put vettori below Izzy, but he did better than Whittaker, Gastelum and Costa

 

[Sneed&Feed]

Overrated, more like. Vettori's wrestling is hot garbage and he doesn't have the gastank to wrestle for 3, let alone 5 rounds.

 

[tehMoose]

lol

This dude lost to Shoeface and went to draw with Omari. You meant overrated, right?

 

[johndhi]

I agree with TS. Was really impressed with Marvin's defense. Dude didn't get hit clean with a single high kick and very few punches. Impressive defense while pressuring. Still lost due to leg kicks. Wished I'd seen him shoot a couple more doubles in the center of the octagon. I Guess he didn't want to catch low kciks for fear of quesionmark.

 

[BonesWinckleJones]

Vettori got dominated,izzy respected his takedowns that's why vettori left conscious

 

[HHJ]

His style does give people trouble. Just not dynamic enough to finish the job.

What’re you smoking? Vettori didn’t control shit. The guy is supposed to be a wrestler and he couldn’t even hold top position on Izzy and his shitty ground game. Dude was getting reversed by a white belt.
