Marvin Vettori could not realize ‘The Italian Dream’ against Israel Adesanya at UFC 263. Vettori fell short once again against ‘Izzy’, but this time around there was more on the line for both men involved. ‘The Italian Dream’ had the chance to make history by becoming the first Italian champion in the UFC at UFC 263. However, Adesanya showed up with a better game plan and secured a unanimous decision win.
Vettori said, “I mean if he can show up, eventually. But to be honest, you know what? I like to really destroy this drunk guy that can’t even stay off drinking. Either way, I am as game as it comes. I always show up. There is not one fight where I didn’t show up. You can count on me. When there is a fight and when there is a date, I’ll show up.”
