This week’s UFC event features the middleweight bout between Marvin Vettori and Jared Cannonier as its main event.
Before Betting on Vettori vs. Cannonier
Marvin Vettori is one of the few fighters who pushed Israel Adensay to the brink, and even though he lost both times via decision, the Italian Dream looked excellent in those clashes. His past two bouts were against Robert Whittaker, a decision loss, and versus Roman Dolidze, a decision win.
Vettori is a very strong fighter, who isn’t that fluid, but very tough and robust. He likes to grapple and is confident on the mat. Despite his big frame, the Italian’s cardio looks well, while on the other side, his ching is maybe the strongest in the division.
Jared Cannonier’s punch, on the other side, is the heaviest in this weight class. The Killa Gorilla has 10 knockouts in his career, which is more than half of his 16 victories. The numbers don’t lie. Before this battle, he squared off with Sean Stricklan, winning this after a split decision, but honestly, that shouldn’t happen.
He challenged Adesanya before Strickland, not having the slightest chance against the Last Stylebender, who routinely outpaced the rival in five rounds. Cannonier is a heavy puncher, but other than that, his skills in the ring are limited, as well as his cardio.
