Live Blog: UFC Vegas 75 – Marvin Vettori vs. Jared Cannonier
Welcome to the live blog coverage of UFC Vegas 75, featuring the middleweight main event between Marvin Vettori and Jared Cannonier. This highly anticipated matchup will take place at the APEX on Saturday.
Marvin Vettori, currently ranked No. 5 in the MMA Hook Global Rankings for middleweight, has established himself as one of the top fighters in the 185-pound division over the years. Although he fell short in his middleweight title bout against Israel Adesanya, the 29-year-old Vettori has been determined to climb back up the ranks. However, his journey was interrupted by Robert Whittaker last September. Vettori bounced back with a closely contested decision victory over Roman Dolidze in March. Now, “The Italian Dream” aims to reenter the title conversation with a victory over Cannonier.
Jared Cannonier, a longstanding presence in the UFC middleweight division, shares a similar story with Vettori. Cannonier also experienced defeat in his sole title shot against Israel Adesanya. Ranked No. 6 by MMA Hook, Cannonier redeemed himself with a win over Sean Strickland in December. A significant triumph in this bout could swiftly propel Cannonier back into contention.
