It’s fair to say Darren Till was not impressed with the performance of Marvin Vettori.

Vettori was initially set to take on Till at the UFC Vegas 23 headliner last night only for a broken collarbone to rule out the latter. Despite Vettori being understanding at first, accusations of faking an injury followed soon after with things naturally being hostile with Till as a result.

Vettori, meanwhile, faced Kevin Holland on short notice and went on to win a lopsided unanimous decision after using his wrestling for majority of the five rounds in what was an overall drab fight.

And based on that performance, Till feels he knows how a fight with Vettori would have played out.

“As for marv… sorry ork. It wasn’t the prettiest win but a wins a win and it means so much to him you can see. That fight told me he knew he couldn’t strike with me so he was going to try take me down.

“Even if he were to succeed in takedowns he wouldn’t of been able to keep me there I would of hurt this man for five rounds on the feet But hey who the f*ck am I to talk? I pulled out of the fight so every right I have goes out the window with that Whatever happens for Marvin next good luck I’m sure we’ll meet soon I’ve got a fake injury to recover from and repair See you all soon All very soon x”

Till expects to return to training in the near future but whether he gets to fight Vettori remains to be seen with the latter now solely targeting a title shot.

Holland lost his second fight in three weeks last night when he faced Marvin Vettori in the main event of UFC Vegas 23 last night. Similarly to his fight with Derek Brunson three weeks ago, Holland struggled on the ground. Vettori won the fight 50-44 on all three judges scorecards.

Holland has since taken to social media to react to his loss and he has called for a fight between the two men who beat him.

Speaking to his 300,000+ followers on Instagram, Holland apologised to Darren Till for not beating Vettori. Till was originally supposed to fight Vettori in a tasty European match up, however Till pulled out of the fight with a broken collerbone with less than two weeks to go, this prompting Holland to step in.

“@darrentill2 sorry I didn’t get the job done, been a fan of your style and spirit a while so it’s always an honour to step up if you’re down, hope that doesn’t sound weird. Also wish you a speedy recovery.”

Kevin Holland then went on to call for Derek Brunson V Marvin Vettori whilst taking a poke at the similar style they used to beat him in their fights.

“@derekbrunson vs @marvinvettori next since you both hump so well…. props to you both you made me a better man.”

Holland then went on to say he believes Arnold Allen, who beat Sodiq Yusuff in the co-main event of last night’s card, would beat the pair.

“@b_allen185 is better than you both.” Holland wrote.

Do you think Vettori and Brunson should fight and if they do who wins?

LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 23: Vettori vs. Holland results throughout the afternoon (Sat. 10th. April 2021) from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Taking main event status in a short-notice clash, surging middleweight contender, Marvin ‘The Italian Dream’ Vettori headlines his second straight promotional event, as does short-notice replacement, Kevin ‘Trailblazer’ Holland — who replaces former welterweight title challenger, Darren Till who suffered a broken collarbone last week.

Arriving off the back of a unanimous decision victory over former Cage Warriors welterweight titleholder, Jack Hermansson in December, Kings MMA staple, Vettori extended his undefeated streak to four-fights. With his most recnet loss coming in April 2018 in the form of a split decision defeat to current champion, Israel Adesanya, the Trento native has scored wins over Cezar Ferreira, Andrew Sanchez, Karl Roberson, and Hermansson since.

Making a record-tying twenty-one day turnaround, Holland will attempt to return to the winner’s enclosure following a unanimous decision shutout loss to middleweight staple, Derek Brunson just three weeks ago at UFC Vegas 22.

The defeat snapped a five-fight undefeated surge for the 28-year-old striker, following successes over Anthony Hernandez, Joaquin Buckley, Darren Stewart, Charlie Ontiveros, and a December knockout win over Jacare Souza.
