UFC middleweight Marvin Vettori is on the cusp of becoming the first Italian UFC champion if he can win out at UFC 263. ‘The Italian Dream’ will take on Israel Adesanya in a highly anticipated rematch that is three years in the making. Both men faced off in Glendale, Arizona back in 2018, and Adesanya walked away with the split decision win.

Ironically enough, both men will rematch in the very same arena that they first met in back in 2018. Vettori has put together a five-fight win streak in order to earn a title shot against ‘The Last Stylebender’. In the process, he’s managed to elevate his profile not just amongst fans, but also at the box office.
