Fellow middleweight and teammate Kelvin Gastelum took to Twitter to congratulate his teammate on an epic performance.

Derek Brunson tweeted after the fight and indicated that he wanted a scrap against ‘The Italian Dream’ next. But, with ‘The Italian Dream’ having his eyes set on Paulo Costa. It’s doubtful that a fight between the two will materialize. 

Vettori has now made sure that he will be in the top 5 of the division when the revised rankings come out. He will become the first Italian to be in the top 5 of a division in the UFC.

Vettori will surely inspire a host of young Italian fighters who are considering taking up the sport. ‘The Italian Dream’ will be hoping that his display made his countrymen proud.
