My thoughts on Marvin Vettori. Last night I was definitely a bit emotional, so I'll try be more logical now. While I can understand giving the fight to Naurdiev I still think Vettori won. R1 defo to Naurdiev, R3 defo to Marvin. Now about round 2, Naurdiev did wobble Marvin quite significantly but that was his only moment the entire round, Vettori then handedly won the rest of the round.That alone wouldn't have been enough to win the round but then vettori also rocked him at the end of the round, which is what in my opinion won him the round. But again giving r2 to naurdiev isn't crazy so well done to him. Regardless, even if vettori had won, going to a razor close decision with naurdiev isn't a great look. So what went wrong? Why has vettori gone on such a skid? In my opinion his skills and heart for the sport haven't decreased it's just that the rest of the division has gotten alot better, faster than he could improve. When he was at his peak the division was simply alot worse, his fairly basic gameplans of 1-2s is just no longer enough. And what's so sad is that he looked pretty good in this fight, was quick, sharp so I can't even claim he's super washed - plus he's only 33. What's next for him? The ufc might cut him but if they don't what will he do? There are definitely winnable match ups for him but I'd only be comfortably picking against the biggest jobbers, cody brundage types. But I doubt the ufc will do him that favour and they might feed him to a some killers, and I fear it will end his chin. So I would not blame him at all if he retired. But we will see, whatever he does I will support him ❤️🇮🇹

Friends, the fight fell through—whether the pay was too low or too high, that was the reason; it was Sean Strickland's fault. It’s really bad news, though Imavov will still fight. Still, he deserved a rematch against Sean—and for the title, too. Let me know your thoughts in the comments if you agree 😔

Benny’s early thoughts and predictions for UFC 335 🇧🇷 Charles Oliveira (C) v Diego Lopes 🇧🇷 What a scrap this will be, Diego Lopes is the true BMF in my eyes, and you will all see why at UFC 335. He’s one of the most well rounded fighters in the UFC, and his power lines up really well with Oliveira’s weakness - his chin. This fight only ends in a Lopes KO or an Oliveira DEC, performance similar to the Holloway fight at UFC 326. My pick - 🇧🇷 Lopes R1 KO/TKO 🇷🇺 Sergei Pavlovich (3) v Alex Pereira 🇧🇷 Finally Pavlovich gets a better opponent, and it’s a big test for Pereira as well. Unfortunately, I don’t see this going well for Poatan at all. If Ciryl Gane outstruck you and KOd you, Pavlovich isn’t exactly an easier fight. Especially since he’s seemingly back to his KOing ways, finishing Tallison Teixeira (Pereira’s teammate) in under 30s. My pick - 🇷🇺 Pavlovich R1 KO/TKO 🇺🇸 Joe Pyfer (4) v (12) Bo Nickal 🇺🇸 Interesting fight, but i’m not against it matchmaking wise. Pyfer is coming off a R2 KO over washed Adesanya, while Nickal is coming off 2 KOs in the last year since losing his 0 to RDR. A lot of people are picking Pyfer here, but I’m actually going with Nickal. I think he’s more well rounded and is happy to control the fight and take it to a decision, compared to Pyfer who can finish a fight in any way, but we don’t know how good he’ll be over 15m. My pick - 🇺🇸 Nickal by DEC
