Marvin Vettori’s name should ring a bell for more than a few Ultimate Fighting Championship fans by now. “The Italian Dream” made his promotional debut at UFC 202 in August 2016 and submitted Alberto Emiliano Pereira with a first-round guillotine choke. A decision loss to Antonio Carlos Jr. and a decision win over Vitor Miranda followed before Vettori ran into Omari Akhmedov. Their UFC 219 encounter resulted in a draw, and the Italian was not happy about it.
“I could easily have won that fight,” Vettori told Sherdog.
