Marvin Vettori is just days away from his first UFC title shot against middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, but he’s already earned a big win away from the octagon.
Vettori’s manager Ali Abdelaziz told ESPN’s Brett Okamoto that the Italian star has signed a sponsorship deal with Dolce & Gabbana, an Italian fashion powerhouse brand. The details of the deal are unknown in terms of the income he’ll be making and for how long the deal lasts.
The deal comes just days before Vettori’s showdown with Adesanya in Glendale, where the two top middleweights fought earlier in their careers in their first matchup in which Adesanya won in a razor-thin close fight that went to a split decision. Vettori is attempting to become the first Italian-born UFC champion in the promotion’s long history.
Just a year ago, Vettori was still making the climb up the UFC middleweight division and earned a submission win over Karl Roberson at UFC Vegas 2. He was relatively unknown to most fight fans with his notoriety mostly coming from his close loss to Adesanya.
Vettori enters UFC 263 on a five-fight win streak since the first fight with Adesanya. Over his last two fights, he has defeated middleweight contenders Kevin Holland and Jack Hermansson en route to the title shot. It was widely expected that former champion Robert Whittaker would get the rematch with Adesanya, but he opted to take some time off after his dominant win over Kelvin Gastelum.
Vettori has the chance to shock the world on Saturday night in Glendale in front of a sold-out crowd at Gila River Arena. This will mark the UFC’s third full-capacity event since easing back towards normalcy after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic last year.
Win or lose, it appears that Vettori’s stock has risen in an unbelievable fashion over the past few years. With the new sponsorship deal, Vettori has the chance to celebrate the new business venture with an upset win at UFC 263.

Michael Bisping believes Jan Blachowicz has shown Marvin Vettori and the world what needs to be done to dethrone Israel Adesanya at UFC 263.
The UFC light-heavyweight champion utilized his wrestling game in the championship rounds to outpoint ‘Stylebender’ at UFC 259 in March.
After his failed attempt at becoming a two-weight UFC champion, Adesanya has returned to the 185lb division to defend his title against Vettori on June 12.
In 2018, Adesanya scored a split decision win over Vettori. Bisping believes that victory will fill ‘Stylebender’ with confidence ahead of the rematch despite the fact both men have vastly improved since that bout.
“For Adesanya, he should go into this fight very confident,” Bisping said to The Schmo. “Of course, he’s already beaten Marvin Vettori. Both of them have got better. I think Vettori has got way better.
“I think for Marvin Vettori, seeing the way Blachowicz beat him has set the tone for how to beat him,” Bisping added. “I think the way to beat Adesanya is obviously take him down, but most people take him down against the fence. It’s easier [to defend] because you can lean against the wall or the fence and if you get taken down, you can use that to stand back up. What we saw against Blachowicz was Blachowicz took him down in the middle of the Octagon. The reason that’s more beneficial is you got to be a better wrestler to penetrate and drive through and put them down. To take someone down in the middle is harder but you’ll have more success against Israel is because they haven’t got the fence to lean on — they’re just going to fall over. And then when you get him down, it’s actually way harder to get back to your feet if you’re in the middle of the Octagon because you’ve got nothing to lean on.”
“I think Vettori saw that and I think he’ll come with a heavy wrestling-oriented game plan like he did against Kevin Holland, but you still got to side with the champ. I’m still leaning with the champ. He’s the champ for a reason,” Bisping concluded. (Transcribed by MMA Mania)
