Why the UFC on ESPN 47 odds are in Vettori’s favor
Marvin Vettori could not be more durable. He is a superb technician, however he is additionally a brawler who would not thoughts taking exhausting blows. He has a really sturdy jaw and the proof is that he has by no means been knocked out although he has fought nice strikers like Israel Adesanya, Kevin Holland and Paulo Costa.
The battle with Costa is an efficient instance of how robust the ‘Italian dream’ may be. Regardless of transferring up the burden division on this match, he did properly in opposition to ‘Boraquinha’, throwing a complete of 190 exhausting blows into his opponent and serving to to win the match by unanimous choice.
He has since returned to middleweight, shedding to Robert Whittaker by unanimous choice and defeating Roman Drizet in the identical means.
The 29-year-old Italian isn’t solely good in opposition to strikers, he’s additionally good in opposition to nice grapplers/wrestlers. His takedown protection proportion within the UFC is 75% for him, however in opposition to Cannonier, who has a striking-only strategy, this most likely would not matter a lot. “Kira Gorilla” has scored simply two takedowns in his 15 fights within the UFC.
Jared Canonnier guarantees to knock out Vettori
The 39-year-old has his sights set on a battle with Vetoli. His eyes are on the UFC middleweight championship in opposition to Israel Adesanya. But when he would not beat Vettori within the UFC in the principle occasion of ESPN 47, he will not have a shot on the title. And he must do it in type.
For Canonnier, this implies you may need to knock him out such as you’ve accomplished 10 different MMA fighters. Truly, that is what he promised this Saturday. However can he really pull it off?
“Kira Gorilla” is an efficient striker who makes 4.00 essential strikes per minute. His punches and kicks are additionally very highly effective, however the truth is that he’s not very efficient in opposition to massive gamers like his subsequent opponent.
As proof, he received just one bout by knockout (TKO) whereas combating on the UFC mild heavyweight division. This time it will likely be a match with a giant middleweight who has expertise in opposition to KO masters.
Prediction of Vettori vs. Canonnier
Vetoli is the kind of fighter you need to preserve by your facet in avenue fights. He is a really aggressive man who simply likes to battle. Nonetheless, his sport has advanced through the years, reworking him right into a tactical fighter who can outsmart his rivals.
That is precisely what he has to do if he desires to win on Saturday. As a substitute of going all-in straight away, he’ll most likely attempt to outbox his opponent or take him right down to preserve him on the bottom for so long as attainable.
I do not know the way he’ll battle, however I’ve little question that he’ll win this battle.
choose: Marvin Vettori
