Perennial UFC middleweight contender Marvin Vettori is gutted at the media for the amount of attention they are giving to Jake Paul. ‘The Italian Dream’ is skeptical of Paul’s fighting skill and has offered to fight ‘The Problem Child’ for free.
Paul, a YouTube star, is currently looking to make his mark in the world of Boxing. However, Vettori is not quite impressed by his skills.

He feels like it’s unfair for other fighters who devote their lives to the sport as ‘The Problem Child’ is getting all the media attention. Also, ‘The Italian Dream’ feels like the money involved around Paul’s fights is disrespectful to professional fighters.
This Jake Paul bullshit is so disrespectful to all the real fighters
Fuck whoever is always trying to take shortcuts especially in this game
Hope I had the chance to punk this bitch in any training or fight
Blood sweat and tears is what this game is about and he’s none of this— Marvin Vettori (@MarvinVettori) January 28, 2021
In a recent interview with MMAFighting, Vettori said, “It’s bad, it’s disrespectful, The most disrespectful is also this bullsh*t ass media that I’ve seen all over where they give him credit.
“Just tell him, somebody go get him and I want to make it a surprise, I want to show you something. Just bring him to Huntington. Once he steps in that door, we just lock the door. Trust me, we wouldn’t be unfair,” he added.
“I’m all about it, Like I said, I’ll basically do it for free. I would,” he further added.

It’s an important fight fir the both the middleweights. Vettori will look to build on the momentum he got with his win over Jack Hermansson.
Holland, on the other hand, got his train deralied as he looked rather laclusture against Derek Brunson in his last outing. A win will put either fighter among the elites of the division.
