"English is on point" - Marvin Vettori impresses fans online with accurate Steve-O impression 

Marvin Vettori has impressed fans during fight week after debuting his impression of 'Jackass' star Steve-O during the UFC on ESPN 47's media day.

Vettori is set to face Jared Cannonier in this weekend's main event on June 17. Both men are 3-2 in their past five appearances and have each suffered a loss to Israel Adesanya in their attempts to capture the middleweight title.

The pair are desperate to make a statement this weekend and push on to make another run at the 185-pound strap.

Marvin Vettori, however, seems to be showing no signs of pressure. 'The Italian Dream' was in great spirits during his interviews with the press and even opted to show his comedic side with an impression of Steve-O that left the room laughing.

The UFC middleweight explained that he had bumped into the entertainer a number of years ago and they have been friends ever since, before dropping a perfect impression. He said:

"Me and Steve-O, we go back a little bit because we met each other at some fights. He came up to me and was like, 'Hey bro, you wanna choke me out after some fights?'"
