Former title challengers Jared Cannonier and Marvin Vettori headlined UFC Vegas 75 on Saturday night.
A slight underdog, Cannonier went in boasting of a 75% finish rate against Vettori who had never been finished in his career. While Vettori got the better of Cannonier in the opening frame, 'The Killa Gorilla' bounced back strong in the second round, putting his opponent on wobbly legs.
While Cannonier did his best to secure a finish, 'The Italian Dream' taught us all a lesson in durability by miraculously going th distance. Despite Cannonier's dominant decision win, fans and pundits alike were left in awe of Vettori's chin.
