Karl Roberson vs. Marvin Vettori rescheduled for UFC event June 13
Karl Roberson and Marvin Vettori will still get the opportunity to settle their differences inside the octagon.
The middleweights have been rescheduled to fight on the UFC’s upcoming June 13 event after the pairing fell apart on just hours’ notice last week at UFC on ESPN+ 29.
MMA Junkie confirmed with multiple people close to the situation that Roberson (9-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) and Vettori (14-4-1 MMA, 4-2-1 UFC) have agreed to the matchup following an initial report from MMA Fighting. The people requested anonymity because the UFC has yet to officially announce the bout.
The UFC intended to head to Kazakhstan on that date before the coronavirus pandemic put all events in limbo. The promotion hopes to determine a new location soon, with Las Vegas the front runner as Nevada prepares for the resumption of combat sports.
After Roberson and Vettori successfully made weight for UFC on ESPN+ 29, the path to fight night appeared to be clear. Roberson fell ill while recovering from his weight cut, though, and was pulled from the card after being taken to hospital. Following the scratch, Roberson and Vettori had a viral hotel run-in that involved a whole lot of screaming from the latter.
That made it clear the fight needed to be rebooked, and the two surging 185-pound fighters, who are both on two-fight winning streaks, will vent their frustrations in the octagon.
