The middleweight UFC fighter was part of a brawl that happened to take place in Italy in a boxing event hosted by DAZN: Ivan Zucco vs Germaine brown. Marvin vettori's video went viral on various social media platforms, where he seems to be punching down a rapper from the crowd.
Vettori was involved because an altercation first took place between his friend Tony Effe and the rapper. It started off with heated verbal exchanges, and moments later, it got physical. While the fight was happening, Marvin Vettori hammer punched the rapper, which was truly a display of unprofessionalism and could adversely affect his self-image in the future.
The middleweight fighter competed last week in UFC 286 undercard and ambitiously called out other fighters.
Last night during a DAZN Boxing event in Milan, Italy, Italian rapper Tony Effe started a brawl with Italian rapper and pro boxer Ion.
Tony's good friend and UFC middleweight Marvin Vettori stepped in and hammer punched Ion knocking him down.
Definitely not a good look for him.pic.twitter.com/CjuPb0DDx6 — Al Zullino (@phre) March 25, 2023
Marvin Vettori called out 3 special opponents
He was last week in London, and no one would have expected him to be part of a brawl the very next week.
The reason behind the altercation hasn't been disclosed yet, but it soon will be. The UFC middleweight fighter could face legal penalties for such an act of unprofessionalism. Many UFC fighters have been a part of such brawls in public, and after Friday night Marvin Vettori is added to the list.
Marvin vettori's mother came to watch his fight for the first time last week for UFC 286, and he expressed his feelings in the post-fight interview "I couldn't lose in front of her", said vettori as quoted by talksport.com.
"Back in the win column. Don't forget about me. I keep improving my game, and I'm proud of all my kicking tonight." He then ambitiously calls out a few opponents. "I'm around. Cannonier, Pereira, Adesanya, line them up”. It will be interesting to see who he fights next; after his previous victory, chances are that he may fight new opponents or perhaps even have a rematch against Robert Whittaker. Whatever it is, the fans will love to be a part of it. (Image source: MMANEWS)
