Marvin Vettori and Jack Hermansson put on a stellar display landing more significant strikes than any other UFC middleweight fight ever.

Marvin Vettori though had some choice words for current middleweight champion Israel Adesanya at the post-fight press conference.

Vettori: "Israel [Adesanya] is full of s---. He was like, 'I don't think I'll ever see Marvin again. He will never make it to the top.' Guess what mother f---er I'm here. He thinks he has everything figured out — he has nothing figured out. … I want that fight.” #UFCVegas16

“Israel is full of sh*t. He was like I don’t think we will ever see Marvin again, he will never make it to the title shot. Guess what mother*cker, I am here. He thinks he has all figured out but he has nothing figured out. I know the true colours I’ve fought him before and I want that fight (again).”

Israel Adesanya had defeated Marvin Vettori at UFC on Fox 29 and severely criticized the Italian after the fight.

Marvin Vettori also had some suggestions about his future in the middleweight division. He had called out Paulo Costa after the fight but seemed to change his mind in the Post Fight conference.

“Man you know to be honest with you, before I called out Borrachinha (Paulo Costa) but f*ck Borrachinha. He just came out of a crazy loss why would I even fight him? I wanna go straight for the title. I’ll be really honest, I like the fight but there is no opposition at the top. Cannonier just lost, Darren Till is I don’t know, Borrachinha just lost brutally, and Jack was number 4 and Whittaker just wants to enjoy Christmas with his kids.”
