It's time for UFC Fight Night: Vettori vs. Cannonier (AKA UFC Vegas 75 or UFC on ESPN 46). UFC returns home to Vegas tonight to see Marvin Vettori step into the Octagon opposite Jared Cannonier for the main event. But the middleweight pair aren't the only fight worth tuning in for. Fight Night 225 will also feature the lightweight battle between Arman Tsarukyan and the unranked Joaquim Silva. If you’re looking for ways to watch UFC Vegas 75, know this: Vettori vs. Cannonier will air on ESPN and stream exclusively on ESPN+.Jared Cannonier earned one of the biggest victories of his career on Saturday when he defeated Marvin Vettori in the UFC on ESPN 46 headliner.
Cannonier (17-6 MMA, 10-6 UFC) put another notable middleweight contender and fellow former title challenger on his resume when he beat Vettori (19-7-1 MMA, 9-5-1 UFC) by unanimous decision in the main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Cannonier set a UFC record for significant strikes in a middleweight fight with his lopsided win over Vettori.
Marvin Vettori vs. Jared Cannonier: Vettori and Cannonier have comparable stand-up statistics. The middleweights land and get hit at a similar rate. The most glaring discrepancy on paper is Vettori's wrestling. "The Italian Dream" averages 1.7 takedowns per 15 minutes compared to Cannonier's 0.17 and is roughly 20% more effective. The biggest concern for Cannonier is his suboptimal 64% takedown defense. Many of the takedowns Cannonier suffered were against larger foes at heavyweight and light heavyweight, so that may not be the most accurate representation of his middleweight skills, but Derek Brunson managed three takedowns in less than two rounds last year. Vettori also benefits from a gas tank that can last 25 minutes and a chin that has persevered through 26 pro fights. That durability will serve him very well against the heavy-handed Cannonier. A stand-up battle between the pair would play out rather evenly with a slight edge to Cannonier. Vettori's superior wrestling should put him over the edge. Vettori via UD
