Again struggles in main event
Vettori lost to Roman Dolidze via unanimous decision (46-49, 46-49, 46-49) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Vettori got the better of Dolidze when the two first fought in a three-round fight at UFC 286 in March 2023, but he really struggled on this evening, particularly in the latter stages of the fight. Known as a cardio warrior capable of pumping out a ton of volume on the feet, Marvin closed with 112 total strikes landed. Not a bad number, but certainly not great in comparison to Dolidze's 141. Vettori got badly outworked in Rounds 4 and 5, something were not used to seeing from him. In fact, outside of one huge Round 2 flurry, he really struggled to get on track all evening. Now 31 years old, Marvin is 1-3 in his past four fights, with the lone victory during that stretch coming against Dolidze. Vettori is essentially done in terms of impacting the title picture at 185 pounds.

Heart on display in crushing defeat
Vettori lost to Jared Cannonier via unanimous decision (45-49, 45-49, 46-48) at UFC on ESPN 47 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was an epic display of toughness from Vettori in what was an otherwise extremely disappointing performance. Marvin managed to wobble Cannonnier just moments after the opening bell rang. Little did we know at the time it would be his only significant chance of emerging victorious. Vettori was blasted the duration of Round 2, nearly getting stopped on multiple occasions. He appeared either hurt and/or injured the rest of the way. His typical legendary output dropped considerably, and he found himself essentially serving as a punching bag the final four rounds. Vettori won't turn 30 years of age until September, but he is now 2-3 in his past five fights dating back to June 2021. Granted, those three defeats came against Israel Adesanya, Robert Whittaker, and Cannonier, three of the best in the world at 185 pounds. While he may be at a career crossroads, Vettori will at least take home an extra $50,000 after this matchup was awarded Fight of the Night honors.
