After a fight week filled with drama, [autotag]Marvin Vettori[/autotag] delivered when it mattered most to defeat [autotag]Paulo Costa[/autotag] in the UFC Fight Night 196 main event.
Vettori (18-5-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC) got back in the win column following his tittle-fight loss to Israel Adesanya in June when he beat Costa (13-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) by METHOD in the headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
The Italian’s win is particularly meaningful given the fight week shenanigans where Costa forced the fight to be moved from middleweight to light heavyweight just days out due to poor weight management. Nevertheless, Vettori overcame it to get his hand raised.
