Marvin Vettori releases statement on defeat
“Nothing too bad – just some cuts and bruises,” Vettori said on his Instagram Stories. “F*ck, man. Life sometimes shows you that even when you give your heart out and everything you’ve got, you still fall short. That was a close fight. Almost had him in the third. But I guess it wasn’t enough. Yeah man. F*ck. I don’t even know what to say.”
“Thank you to ATT,” Vettori said. “The best in the world, bro. … Love you guys. Thank you, UFC. What the f*ck can I say, bro? I don’t know.”

Marvin Vettori is still an elite level fighter. With that being said, he needs to go back to the drawing board. The middleweight division is full of some exceptional athletes, so if Vettori wants to still be considered someone who can fight for a championship, he needs to reassess.
For Roman Dolidze, this could be the beginning of something very special. Hopefully, he gets that big fight against Adesanya or Whittaker that he called for.
