"Interesting question. Do you think men can be bisexual? I don’t think so."
Vettori's question took fans aback, and many amused users pointed out that he posted the tweet at 12:30 AM. Soon after, they flocked to the post's comments section to express their opinions.

Marvin Vettori on Israel Adesanya potentially getting an immediate rematch against Sean Strickland
Marvin Vettori isn't on board with Israel Adesanya getting an immediate title rematch against Sean Strickland and dismissed the Nigerian-born Kiwi's chances of winning in the rubber match.
'The Italian Dream' fought Adesanya twice before, coming up short on the judges' scorecards both times. The build-up to both their fights was marked by vicious personal jabs and intense trash-talking. Given their rivalry and mutual dislike for each other, it's unsurprising to see the Italian brutally slam Adesanya for even considering asking for a rematch.
During an episode of the Dream Rare Podcast, Marvin Vettori discussed a potential Adesanya-Strickland rematch and stated:
"I just don’t like this guy... I don’t f*cking like this guy, so I personally think that he doesn’t deserve a f*cking rematch... He felt like, he’s going to lose again, so I don’t even think like he wants the rematch right now."
Vettori then named some middleweight contenders who he thinks should be given a shot and stated:
“I mean, let’s see what Sean will do as the champ. He shook up the division, and I think [Dricus] Du Plessis is on the line... You cannot deny him a f***ing title shot, man. Oh! f***ing Jared [Cannonier], Jared too... I think Adesanya’s time is over."
