Marvin Vettori faced a setback in his recent fight, prompting him to reevaluate his approach. Jared Cannonier dominated Vettori in the main event of UFC Vegas 75, delivering a record-breaking performance with 241 significant strikes. Although Vettori showcased an impressive chin and durability, he failed to secure a victory. This loss adds to his mixed record in the past five fights, starting with his title rematch against Israel Adesanya in June 2021. While Vettori is expected to bounce back, his limitations are becoming apparent in the middleweight division.
Sean Strickland, a middleweight contender and occasional training partner of Vettori, sees untapped potential in the Italian fighter. However, he criticizes Vettori’s decision-making and refers to him as “dumb” and “stupid.” Strickland believes that Vettori needs to surround himself with better guidance and coaching to reach his full potential.
Strickland and Vettori both faced similar outcomes in their respective fights against Cannonier, although Strickland put up a more competitive performance in his split decision loss earlier this year. Strickland has since rebounded with an impressive victory over Nassourdine Imavov in a short-notice light heavyweight clash.
Strickland’s next challenge is a main event bout against Abusupiyan Magomedov at UFC Vegas 76. Despite limited knowledge about his opponent, Strickland aims to secure a win that would potentially grant him a title shot against Adesanya at UFC 293 in September, held in Australia.
In other news, the combat sports world is abuzz with discussions about a potential boxing matchup between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz, the viral sparring claims made by Esquiva Falcao’s opponent, a hypothetical cage match between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, and a memorable moment in an LFA 160 event.
Various fights have been announced for upcoming events, including Gavin Tucker vs. Diego Lopes at UFC Nashville, Leandro Higo vs. Nikita Mikhailov at Bellator 298, and several other exciting matchups.
