"I'm gonna f*** him up next time I see him" - Marvin Vettori blasts "full of s***" Israel Adesanya
Marvin Vettori has put Israel Adesanya on notice once again. During a recent interview with TMZ, Vettori blasted the reigning UFC middleweight champion and claimed that he will 'f*** him up' the next time he sees him.
Marvin Vettori started by saying that Adesanya never credits him for anything. 'The Italian Dream' thinks that he is the one to dethrone Adesanya, even with his two prior losses to the champion.
Marvin Vettori (190) and Paulo Costa (163) combined for 353 significant strikes landed, the 4th largest count in UFC history and the largest count ever not featuring Max Holloway, per UFC Stats. https://t.co/41iyC39KcY
Vettori believes it's only a matter of time before he gets his hand raised against 'The Last Stylebender'. He is currently waiting to see how things play out between Izzy and Robert Whittaker.
"He never gives me credit but he knows what's up, you know. I'm the only guy that's gonna beat him and eventually, I will, you know. Just a matter of time, let's see how it goes with Whittaker. But I'm right there, I'm the biggest opposition for him and he knows that it's just a matter of time before I'm going to win that title."
Vettori took it a step further by claiming he won his first fight with Adesanya. Vettori then went on to warn the 185lbs champ by claiming that he won't be too kind to him the next time they cross paths. He added:
"The first time I beat him too. He's like, okay. I saw a glimpse of that video, he's full of s***. So I'm gonna f*** him up the next time I see him that's for sure."
