“The Last Stylebender” went on to clinch five straight victories ever since, with the last one against Robert Whittaker bringing him the UFC Middleweight title last week. Vettori, on the other hand, got only one opportunity to appear in the cage owing to a USADA suspension. However, he is confident that in case he gets to fight Adesanya again, it would be his hands up in the air this time.

Vettori says he is ready for a rematch

During Dominance MMA media day on Tuesday, “The Italian Dream” said that given how much of a threat he posed for the Middleweight UFC Champion a year and a half ago, there is no doubt in his mind that next time the UFC results will be different.

He is positive that the improvement he went through since their last fight is good enough to lend him what it takes to defeat someone of the stature of Adesanya.

Right now, Vettori is focusing on the task at hand, which is his UFC Fight Night 161 bout against Andrew Sanchez at Amalie Center in Tampa, Florida on Saturday.
