UFC middleweight Marvin Vettori is set to take on Paulo Costa later this month in the main event of a UFC Fight Night card. Costa and Vettori are two top middleweights in the current rosters. As both are coming off a loss against the champion Israel Adesanya, they will be determined to get back in contention yet again with a win on October 23rd.

Vettori was on a 5-fight winning streak coming into his UFC 263 showdown against Costa. However, he was on the wrong end of a lopsided decision in favor of the champion. That was also his first loss since his 2018 decision loss to the ‘Stylebender’ in their first fight. Costa, on the other hand, suffered his first loss as a professional when he was finished at the UFC 253 pay-per-view by Izzy.

Recently, ‘The Italian Dream’ took to Twitter and posted a cryptic message. “Oooo I can’t f**king wait for this one!!!!” he wrote followed by three emojis of blood drops. One may decipher it as his excitement for the upcoming fight against Costa which many believe might be a war for the ages.

Marvin Vettori vs Paulo Costa: A preview of the fight

Vettori has solid fighting skills which are combined with his pressure and brawling style. He has a very fundamental striking and grappling prowess. However, Costa is a beast in his own right. Other than his loss to Adesanya, ‘The Earser‘ has erased most of his opponents with his overwhelming power and pressure inside the Octagon.

The Brazilian fighter has an incredible professional record of 13-1 with 11 of those wins coming by T/KO. Given the styles of both men, one can expect the contest to be a barn-burner between two of the strongest fighters in the 185 lbs division of the UFC. Which one of the two top contenders comes out on top eventually, remains to be seen.
