While the UFC’s recent matchmaking has been put through the wringer, middleweight contender Marvin Vettori doesn’t mind playing some musical chairs in order to climb to the top of his division.
Originally scheduled to take on Omari Akhmedov at UFC 256, the ‘Italian Dream’ saw the fight fall through weeks before the card. He was then paired up against veteran Jacare Souza for the PPV event. However, when Kevin Holland had to drop out of his planned fight against Jack Hermansson atop this week’s UFC Fight Night, Vettori was pulled from his bout against the Brazilian grappling ace and into the headliner against top contender Hermansson, for this coming Saturday, December 5th.
