Marvin Vettori wouldn’t be denied by Paulo Costa and his weight management.
After much drama this week, the two met in the main event of UFC Vegas 41 as light heavyweights, and went back and forth for five rounds. As usual, there were plenty of their colleagues watching on fascinated, and many gave plaudits to the two men who put on a show at the Apex. Check out what the professionals at home watching had to say below:
185 Marvin Vettori just took a fight with a top LHW on days notice . No one can ever question his heart . We will see shortly if it was a smart or not so smart dec! #UFCVegas41

I think he’s lost his mind.
We won’t see him again if he loses here.
Looks like he’s struggling with the pressure.

Costas gassed

This isn’t even the same weight class!! Ridiculous! I’m feeling like Costa’s tank might not hold up outside of 1 RD.
185, then 195, then 205?! Something isn’t right. #UFCVegas41— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) October 23, 2021
Vittori did the road work

🤢 🤮

What a fight! Not happy with how he ended that 5th RD, but Vettori has nothing to hang his head about. That was a great performance from both men. Makes you wonder what this looks like at 185 lb, like it was intended to be. #UFCVegas41
