How does Vettori match up with the current top 6 at middleweight?

[Sam's UFC title reign]

For the sake of some more fun, let's include Yoel Romero, even though we are unsure of his future.

1
Robert Whittaker
2
Paulo Costa
3
Jared Cannonier
4
Jack Hermansson
5
Yoel Romero
6
Darren Till

Honestly I think he is competitive with all of them. I can see him beating anyone on this list but Whittaker and Romero.

 

[Limit Smasher]

I think he easily knocks out Whittaker and Costa and wins a decision against Adesanya.

 

[GoshiShun17]

I think he easily knocks out Whittaker and Costa and wins a decision against Adesanya.

I know you're joking. But he's never stopped anyone with strikes. First time for everything though.

 

[genecop]

Let him KO Till next...

 

[Ingjr]

Well, IMO he's already beat Gynosanya. Took him to a split-decision. Why no rematch baldfather?

 

[260Bomber]

I'd pick him over Cannonier and Jack, he loses to the rest.

 

[GangGangGang]

Lets just say that I dont think Hermansson beats any top 5 guy. Whittaker, Izzy, Cannonier and Costa all KO him. He was somewhat competitive with Vettori. I wouldnt favour Vettori to beat any of the top 5 guys just yet. He puts up fun fights though and likely takes each guy to a decision.

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

I think he easily knocks out Whittaker and Costa and wins a decision against Adesanya.

Hope you are trolling. That guy is fringe top 10 and just got lucky yesterday.

 

[TheScorpionDude]

I'd pick him over Cannonier and Jack, he loses to the rest.

What makes you think he'd win vs Jack ?

 

[TheMessiah]

I think he would beat Till but not Cannonier, Costa, Romero and Whittaker

 

[SakurabasEar]

I dont believe he has the timing to beat whittaker or izzy. But I think a fight with Till or Costa is competitive

 

[egk]

Hope you are trolling. That guy is fringe top 10 and just got lucky yesterday.

How in hell does someone just "get lucky" in a 5 round dogfight? He earned every bit of that.

 

[DrunkMonkMeth]

I think he can beat everyone besides izzy and rob.

 

[No Skill Gap]

Confused as to why Vettori's odds against Hermansson are included here considering he just beat him last night?

For the sake of some more fun, let's include Yoel Romero, even though we are unsure of his future.

1
Robert Whittaker
2
Paulo Costa
3
Jared Cannonier
4
Jack Hermansson
5
Yoel Romero
6
Darren Till

Honestly I think he is competitive with all of them. I can see him beating anyone on this list but Whittaker and Romero.

Romero isn't in the UFC anymore. What are you unsure about? Let's give him Paulo or Whittaker and see what happens.

 

[The_Renaissance]

He's very fucking good. But he isn't championship good. He's basically a very strong jack-of-all-trades and those type of fighters never reach the pinnacle of the sport. You have to have one thing at least, that you excel at, and be able to finish people.

 

[Mesos]

He definitely loses to Whittaker and maybe Till. I like his chances against everyone else though. Dude isnt even in his prime. In a few more years hes gonna be running Middleweight division I bet.

 

[Zarate]

He hold Izzy down with ease in the third round. He's athletic, he's strong as fuck, he's well rounded and he's a tough mofo.

Champ material.

 

[Arkham's Notorious Geyser]

I think he easily knocks out Whittaker and Costa and wins a decision against Adesanya.

I get he just broke into the Top 10 but where's this idea coming from that he "easily" KO's Whittaker? I feel like we've been here before with Till, and than Cannonier lol. Whittaker never gets the respect he deserves when his ONLY loss in that division is to the undefeated Champion haha.

 

[omawho402]

I think he beats them all, but gets finished by Stylebender's lethal striking
