Marvin Vettori Seals Unanimous Decision Win Over Jack Hermansson In Instant Classic – UFC Vegas 16 Highlights

Marvin ‘The Italian Dream’ Vettori has seized the short-notice opportunity with arguably the biggest standout performance of his career. The Kings MMA mainstay switched from an early approach — on his way to a unanimous decision win over Jack ‘The Joker’ Hermansson. The real story of the first-round came with both men hoping to find […]

The real story of the first-round came with both men hoping to find a home for counter straight shots, mostly in the pocket. Landing the most significant shot of the frame, Vettori dropped Hermansson with a left hand, and briefly threatened with a guillotine as the Swede survived the first-frame.

With an aggresive approach to the opening exchanges of the second, Hermansson attempted to score a high-crotch single-leg, with Vettori defending expertly, event sweeping the #4 ranked contender, winding up in full-guard. In a much more comfortable finish to the round, Hermansson landed a good knee in the clinch, finding a notably heavy breathing Vettori’s mid-section.

Likely stealing the third-round, Hermansson managed to let his hands go with much more success midway through this headliner, with Vettori still breathing quite heavily. Hermansson swinging somewhat wild, however.

While Vettori seemed much more composed and energetic in the fourth than in the third, it semes Hermansson may have still scored a 10-9 with his cleaner boxing. Vettori’s shots also seem to have waned in effect compared to the first round.

Blasting through the final round with the same pace as set in the prior four, Vettori and Hermansson battled to the distance, with the Italian scoring a unanimous decision win in a short-notice appearance. Following his victory, the soon to be minted top-five contender called for a pairing with recent middleweight title challenger, Paulo ‘The Eraser’ Costa.

Below, check out the highlights from Hermansson’s exciting war with Vettori.

LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 16: Hermansson vs. Vettori Results throughout the night (Sat. 5th. December 2020) from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

For Swedish-born submission specialist, Jack ‘The Joker’ Hermansson, he’s finally made it to Fight Night for UFC Vegas 16. And more importantly, with an opponent finally nailed down. Intially scheduled to tackle Darren ‘The Gorilla’ Till, and then Kevin ‘The Trailblazer’ Holland, Hermansson now clashes with Marvin Vettori who replaces Holland after he contracted COVID-19, who had replaced Till who was dealing with a reoccurring ACL injury.

Hoping to strike two wins from two in 2020, middleweight contender, Hermansson returned to winning ways on UFC Fight Island 2 in July, scoring a highlight-reel, quickfire heel-hook stoppage over former interim title chaser, Kelvin Gastelum in a co-headlining pairing.

For former Venator FC titleholder, Vettori, the Italian contender brings his Octagon walk a week forward, replacing Holland. The Trento native was slated to meet with returning former Strikeforce 185-pound best, Jacare Souza at next weekend’s event, with Holland now clashing with the Brazilian in a middleweight switcheroo.

Riding a three-fight winning spree, Vettori last featured opposite Karl Roberson at UFC Vegas 2 in June, nabbing a first-round rear-naked choke victory.

Taking co-main event honours tonight, one-time interim light heavyweight title challenger, Ovince Saint Preux takes on Jamahal ‘Sweet Dreams’ Hill, looking to build a head of steam off the back of his stunning one-punch knockout win over touted prospect, Alonzo Menifield.

Undefeated in seven professional outings, Dana White‘s Contender Series alum, Hill made his mark on the UFC roster with a unanimous decision victory over Darko Stosic at UFC Fight Night Raleigh in January, before a ‘No Contest’ outing opposite Klidson Abreu at UFC Vegas 1 in May.

Jack Hermansson vs. Marvin Vettori Staff Predictions

In the UFC Vegas 16 main event, we have an intriguing middleweight match-up between Jack Hermansson and Marvin Vettori. ‘The Joker’ has had two previous opponents fall out and is fighting Vettori on very late notice. Who’ll win? Let’s see what the LowKickMMA staff think… Jordan Ellis: I’m backing Jack Hermansson in this one. I […]

Jordan Ellis: I’m backing Jack Hermansson in this one. I think this is a 50-50 fight on paper but give the edge to ‘The Joker’ for a couple of reasons. Firstly, he has already beaten people who are at a higher level. Secondly, Vettori was supposed to compete at UFC 256 next week and a rushed weight cut could impact him at some point in this five-round fight. I expect Hermansson to ultimaley edge this one out on the judge’s scorecards.
