Chael Sonnen has suggested Marvin Vettori should maintain his aggravated persona.
In a recent interview with ESPN MMA, Vettori revealed that he uses anger as a weapon to counter unhappiness. In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Sonnen spoke about Marvin Vettori's "angry" persona. 'The American Gangster' said:
"We will pay double the admission for angry Marvin. I love angry Marvin, a p**sed off Marvin Vettori. He'll go both ways like everybody. At some point he won't be able to take the heat like everybody else. He'll be wanting to let the curtain down, he'll be wanting to wink at the audience and make sure everybody knows he's a good guy. When he does that, it'll be disappointing because angry Marvin is where it's at. Angry Marvin Vettori is a main event attraction, the last two people on every card on every Saturday are the main event. Being a main event attraction is something totally different. Angry Marvin Vettori is a must see."

"There is something compelling about the athlete calling out the commentator, who in this case is Paul Felder.

I'm telling you there's something to see here, does Marvin vs. Paul go to the next step?"
