Marvin Vettori

The Italian Dream

Italy

Losing streak hits four
MiddleweightUFC
December 6, 2025
Vettori lost to Brunno Ferreira via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 323 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was another woeful performance from Vettori on multiple fronts. No disrespect to Ferreira, but he isn't Brendan Allen, Roman Dolidze or Jared Cannonier (Vettori's previous three opponents). Yes, Marvin did have to deal with an opponent that missed weight by three pounds, but this was largely a kickboxing match, and that doesn't explain Vettori's general lack of activity on the feet, something that is typically his greatest strength. Marvin just didn't have that extra gear we are used to seeing from him, and he needed it in a fight in which he struggled early on. The 32-year-old Italian has lost four straight and is without a win dating back to March 2023.

Fighting heavier opponent
MiddleweightUFC
December 5, 2025
Vettori is scheduled to compete against Brunno Ferreira in a catchweight fight at UFC 323 on Saturday, per Mike Bohn of MMA Junkie.
ANALYSIS
Ferreira missed the UFC's middleweight limit, so he will give 20 percent of his purse to Vettori. The latter will take on the risk of fighting a heavier Ferreira and going 1-2 in 2025 instead of 0-3.
One more chance in 2025
MiddleweightUFC
October 14, 2025
Vettori is scheduled to compete against fellow middleweight Brunno Ferreira at UFC 323 in Las Vegas on Dec. 6, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
2025 has been a rough year for Vettori, whose record for the year is 0-2. Both Roman Dolidze and Brendan Allen outlasted Vettori in decisions at UFC Vegas 104 and UFC 318 respectively. On the other hand, Vettori's upcoming opponent is on the rise, with a 2-0 record in 2025.
Struggles continue in New Orleans
MiddleweightUFC
July 19, 2025
Vettori lost to Brendan Allen via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 28-29) at UFC 318 on Saturday in New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Vettori continues to show all-world toughness, in addition to having his moments offensively, but he also continues to lose fights at an alarming rate. He got off to a very rough start here, getting his nose shattered by an Allen punch in the opening frame. Vettori actually did a decent job of working himself back into the fight and remaining competitive, but he clearly didn't do enough to win when all was said and done. One positive is that despite the recent struggles, Vettori's durability remains elite. He's never been finished in 29 professional fights. Unfortunately, the 31-year-old Italian has lost three straight, and four of his last five, and has just a single win dating back to October 2021. On the bright side, he'll take home an extra $50,000 here after this back-and-forth affair was awarded Fight of the Night honors.
Taking on Allen
MiddleweightUFC
May 7, 2025
Vettori will take on Brendan Allen in a middleweight bout at UFC 318 in New Orleans on July 19, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Vettori will be looking to bounce back after falling to Roman Dolidze via unanimous decision back in March. That dropped the middleweight's record to 9-6-1 in the UFC, but it's his opponent Allen who should be the desperate one here, as he's lost his last three fights and hasn't emerged from the Octagon victorious since April of 2024.
Again struggles in main event
MiddleweightUFC
March 15, 2025
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.
