Can Vettori get the strap?

[Arm Barbarian]

He went the distance with the champ.

First UFC Italian champ?

Or is that a done deal?

 

[Platinum]

No

 

[Portland8242]

lol no he's way too basic

 

[ExitLUPin]

he matches up better with Izzy than anyone else @ MW and hes the only guy to have a winning scorecard officially against him too

hes improved loads since then but obviously Izzy has too.

 

[Goatbib]

I think he is championship level but his gas tank may become a hurdle in achieving that.

 

[ExitLUPin]

lol no he's way too basic

Hes too basic to be a long reigning champ or true great but he has stylistic advantages against Izzy like Sonnen did against Silva

 

[Assman66]

He could beat Adesanya through his wrestling. Don't see him getting past Costa or whittaker though.

 

[Portland8242]

How do you possibly see him beating Izzy? Izzy's evolved leaps and bounds since their fight.

 

[Bangkok ready d1]

Yes of course and everyone saying no its either crazy or just a hater, he went 5 rounds against a top five oponent and won 4 of thouse rounds, his cardio isn't the best but this was a very high paced fight. In my book he has everything to be champion and he does match up good against izzy

 

[mangokush]

Vettori 2.0 vs Izzy will be a great fight.

Took that fight against Jack on very short notice and went 5 hard rounds

On a full camp he will be alot better

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

Hands low, chin in a straight line..

TS logic "future triple champ guraunteed"

 

[jeff7b9]

No.


It is pretty fucking obvious that the striking we saw tonight is WAY WAY lower level than Israel.

and I don’t think Marvin keeps Izzy down.

 

[ElLunico]

I don't think he beats Whittaker let alone the much improved reigning champ.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

I’m a Marvin fan... but he just looks sooo slow in the stand up, the elite strikers will light him up like a Christmas tree

 

[LetThemBleed]

Don't think so, Adesanya's improved more than Marvin has so I don' see anything changing in a rematch, also think Whittaker would kick Vettori's head off, not sure he gets by Costa either tbh.

 

[Ballsagne]

I see him sitting in that 4-8 rank for a while. I dont think he can crack top 3. He's very well rounded, but I dont think that matches up well with Whittaker (whos basically a better version plus cardio) or cannonier (I dont think vettori can take all those shots from jared).

I actually think izzy is his best matchup, but I see izzy holding the belt and Marvin not getting there. Costa is for sure the right callout tho. Dangerous fight for sure, but maybe a guy who also struggles with cardio?

 

[TripTictonic]

I don’t think he can beat Izzy in a rematch. I’d favor Rob over him. Maybe Cannonier too. Vettori vs Till and Costa are interesting. Guess we’ll find out.

 

[Phrozenspite]

i think the asterisk on that scorecard should be noted. wasn't it the guy who scored the fight for felder and that split for john allen tonight too?

 

[Iron Skin]

Probably not, but he is only 27 years old, he haven't reached his ceilling yet.

 

[jeff7b9]

What does his success against Joker have to do with the enormous gap between Marvins striking and Israel’s?
