Both Israeli fighters Adesanya and Marvin Vettori have changed greatly compared to the first encounter in Glendale, Arizona 3 years ago. At that time, Adesanya struggled every time Vettori pinned to the floor, and Vettori also “eat” quite a lot by the punches and kicks of the former champion Kickboxing Adesanya.
Now, Israel Adesanya became a champion, in turn defeated veteran names such as Paulo Costa, Yoel Romero, Robert Whittaker, Kelvin Gastelum, Anderson Silva, to become the champion who was pounded as “the gladiator with the best standing ability” of the current UFC.
Meanwhile, Marvin Vettori is also very confident with a series of 5 consecutive victories, and the ability to pull the opponent to the floor and completely control them from above.
With a classic match between a Striker Adesanya specializing in fighting and a Grappler Vettori specialized – geography, the important thing is who will take control of the match, especially when the two boxers are too clearly the disadvantages of each other through the first match.
Considering at the present time, the balance of this match is considered by the majority to lean towards Israel Adesanya a bit more.
Compared to the time when joining UFC, Adesanya's resistance has improved a lot – in the last 7 matches, Adesanya has only been Takedown only twice; And then he still came back, winning the final victory thanks to his excellent distance control.

Adesanya is also very good at “trapping” to lure against aggressive opponents, so if the opponent has forced Adesanya, it is not necessarily a good advantage.
But Marvin Vettori is in fact not necessarily having no chance.
First, he is still one of the leading boxers in terms of Takedown and controls the opponent from above (Top Control). In the standing phase, Vettori also showed that he had a rather hard chin.
Vettori's striking technique is probably not for the beautiful knockout phase, but it is still effective for the couple's double punches.
Forecast: Israel Adesanya won.
