Marvin Vettori made the most of his big opportunity at UFC on ESPN 19.
The Italian middleweight accepted a main event against one of the division’s toughest customers in Jack Hermansson. And not only did Vettori (16-4-1 MMA, 6-2-1 UFC) earn the biggest victory of his career with a unanimous decision, but the way he did it deserves note.
Vettori appeared to tire in the third round after dominating the first two, but then he found a second wind in the championship rounds and sealed the deal on a career-making performance. That bodes well for his future bouts against the top of the division.
For now, Vettori moves up to No. 8 at 185 pounds in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings. But if he keeps fighting like he did Saturday night, we suspect that won’t be his ceiling.
