How good is Marvin Vettori?

Troof

Gatekeeper is a better word.

It wouldn't surprise me if Marvin ended up getting a title shot at some point in his UFC tenure - stranger things have happened.

Gatekeeper is even worse. Gatekeeper can mean just about anything, while journeyman at least has a pretty solid definition. Gatekeeper to what? The ufc? The top 10? The title? Top 30?

I truly hate that word. Sorry for the angst

Vettori hasn't peaked yet, he is young to develop further and become a contender in my opinion in a weak weight class. Not that many contenders at 185, he can make some noise, especially if he beats Hermannson.

"Journeyman" and "top 5" don't belong in the same sentence. 99.999% of fighters won't become champions ever, that doesn't make them journeyman.

Exactly what I was going to say. Smell the noob

VERY good

 

[El Panteron]

He's young and has improven a lot. We'll see his ceiling eventually, but I'm impressed with his work so far.

The Joker will walk through Vettori's pillowfists get him down and strangle him.

With the current MW landscape, hes borderline top 5 or Tier 2

Tier 1 - Izzy, Costa, Cannonier, Whitaker, Romero

Tier 2 - Vettori, Gasteleum, Hermannson, Til, Weidman

Tier 3 - Brunson, Sean Strickland, Edmen, Jacare, Akhmedov

Tier 4 - Tavarez, Jotko, Carlos Jr, Heinsrich, Branden Allen

Bruh, how on earth is Weidman in your Tier 2 LOL??? Dude is clearly Tier 4 at this stage, and so is Omari

I know a lot of people are high on him but I don't really see it. Like his is okay in all he does and his wins don't really suggest he is a worldbeater. But I honestly would like some honest opinions on how good he is especially with this upcoming Hermanssen fight.

Maybe they don't either.

There's a vast chasm between "being better than his current lower top 20 ranking" and "worldbeater".

Subtlety, TS.

Hes top 10, and on a win streak at MW, plus he has a finish over Big Gast
