Marvin Vettori believes he defeats Israel Adesanya in potential third fight: ‘I’ll be confident walking into that’

Despite suffering a pair of decision losses to former undisputed UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya during his Octagon tenure, recent UFC 286 co-headliner, Marvin Vettori believes he has made the requisite improvements and adjustments to leave himself confident of breaking his duct in a trilogy fight.

Vettori, the current #3 ranked middleweight contender, managed to return to the winner’s enclosure at UFC 286 earlier this month, defeating the surging, Roman Dolidze in a close, unanimous decision victory in the pair’s co-main event matchup in London.

Rebounding to the winning circle, Vettori had previously dropped a UFC Fight Night Paris decision loss to former undisputed middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker in July of last year.
