Marvin Vettori is steadily making his way up the middleweight rankings and if he makes it to the top, he hopes Israel Adesanya is waiting for him.
The two first fought at a UFC on FOX event in April 2018, with Adesanya taking a split nod over Vettori. Since then, Adesanya has won seven more fights and become the middleweight champion of the world. Vettori is also unbeaten since losing to Adesanya, having beaten his last three opponents.
Vettori now headlines UFC Vegas 16 opposite Jack Hermansson this Saturday as a short-notice replacement.
