The Italian fighter puts his heart and stamina into it and almost closes the decisive grounding, but the champion is faster and makes a perfect match
The photograph of the match is all in those only three seconds in which Marvin Vettori really gave the impression of being able to take home the Ufc middleweight belt. In a landing action on the ground in the third round he managed to grab the opponent’s back and attempt a neck grab. A rear naked choke, the same with which in the previous match the Mexican Brandon Moreno had snatched the belt of the Moscow from the Brazilian champion Figueiredo. Marvin was missing so much to close it, but Israel Adesanya wriggled like a snake and reversed the position. And when one responds easily to your best quality, not only is he saved but also undermines certainties. And so Israel Adesanya remains champion, after 5 rounds clearly won against Vettori who gave his soul as usual but succumbed to the speed and the gameplan performed in a masterly manner by the Nigerian.

It matches

Vettori and Adesanya do not touch their gloves, and no one expected them to do so after the skirmishes on the eve, in which they had given birth to a conference of fire. Very clear strategies: Adesanya aims straight at Vettori’s right leg with kicks to undermine his mobility, an action that had already given him excellent results in the previous defenses of the title; Vettori tries to nail him as soon as he can, he succeeds but only against the wall and it hardly hurts him because the other always knows how to get out of it. The trend favors the champion, who scores important shots and gives the impression of playing the match he wants. Rafael Cordeiro, Vettori’s head coach, notices the direction in which the match is slipping and asks him to be aggressive in the breaks. Against an opponent that flies in front of him like a butterfly, however, Vettori can only attack by shortening and then attempting to catch, but each time the other is relentless. Marvin demonstrates the heart and stamina of a bull, arrives at the end of the fifth round with a red leg from the blows and against one who had knocked out the best in the world, he tries but they are sterile actions. In the end, no surprise: unanimous and fair verdict, three judges for Adesanya.
