What a fight! Not happy with how he ended that 5th RD, but Vettori has nothing to hang his head about. That was a great performance from both men. Makes you wonder what this looks like at 185 lb, like it was intended to be. #UFCVegas41

Between getting 20% of Costa's purse, a win bonus, and what should be FotN, it's a pretty good pay day for Vettori.
