Marvin Vettori doubts fighting future of ‘delusional’ Darren Till amid injury setback: ‘He’s done’

Ahead of his high-profile UFC Paris co-main event this weekend in the promotion’s first outing in France, one-time middleweight title challenger, Marvin Vettori has distanced himself from a future rescheduling against Darren Till – claiming the Liverpool native is “done” at the highest level amid another recent injury setback. Vettori, a one-time title challenger at […]

Vettori, a one-time title challenger at the middleweight limit, is scheduled to co-headline at the Accor Arena this weekend in Paris – tackling soon-to-be common-foe, and former undisputed champion, Robert Whittaker.

The Trento native most recently headlined a UFC Vegas 41 back in October of last year recent UFC 278 co-headliner, Paulo Costa, securing a unanimous decision win in an impromptu light heavyweight matchup.

Marvin Vettori insists Darren Till is “done” at the highest level of the sport

Once booked to headline a UFC on ABC card against Till in April of last year, a fractured collarbone forced the Team Kaobon trainee’s withdrawal against Vettori. And in the time since, continued injury setbacks lead Vettori to believe the former welterweight title chaser is “done” at the elite level in the UFC.

“I don’t think I’ve ever even called out Darren Till,” Marvin Vettori told assembled media during his media availability on Wednesday. “He’s completely irrelevant at this point, I think, in the division. He’s literally zero – delusional also. How are we even talking about him? We only talk about him because he’s helping Khamzat (Chimaev) get ready, but he hasn’t been fighting in a long time.”

“He’s done,” Marvin Vettori said. “To be honest, I don’t think he’s ever going to come back with any sort of decent opponent so that fight doesn’t make any sense (to me).”

Sidelined since a one-sided third round rear-naked choke to Derek Brunson atop UFC Vegas 36 last September, Till, who was recently arrested in Stockholm, Sweden for drink driving in July – was forced from a UFC London co-headliner with Jack Hermansson due to another injury.

Tai Tuivasa plans call out of ‘d*ckhead’ Jon Jones with UFC Paris win over Ciryl Gane

Streaking heavyweight knockout artist, Tai Tuivasa has a rather streamlined plan for his upcoming UFC Paris headliner this weekend; defeat hometown favorite, Ciryl Gane – before calling out former two-time light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones. Tuivasa, the current #3 ranked heavyweight contender, headlines UFC Fight Night Paris this Saturday in the promotion’s first outing in […]

Tuivasa, the current #3 ranked heavyweight contender, headlines UFC Fight Night Paris this Saturday in the promotion’s first outing in France in their antiquity – drawing the former interim heavyweight champion and French star, Gane.

The Syndey-born puncher most recently featured on the main card of UFC 271 in February, stopping heavyweight knockout king, and common-foe, Derrick Lewis with a stunning second round step-in elbow knockout of his own.

Landing his fifth consecutive victory and fifth knockout win on the trot as part of a certain UFC tenure purple patch for Tuivasa, the Australian has earned himself a high-stakes headliner with Gane this weekend in the City of Light.

Tai Tuivasa praises Jon Jones’ UFC tenure, however, dislikes his personality

With former two-time light heavyweight champion, Jones expected to make his long-awaited heavyweight division bow by the end of this year, potentially in an interim title fight against fellow former kingpin, Stipe Miocic – Tuivasa admits he would like to share the Octagon with the Rochester native in the future.

“I’ve said it many times before – and I still stand by what I said, I think Jon Jones is the best fighter to ever fight, that’s my personal opinion,” Tai Tuivasa told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour. “Especially how he fights, you know what I mean – like how he fights, he’s probably the best fighter to ever step foot in the cage.”

“But, is he (Jon Jones) a d*ckhead? Yes. I think he’s a d*ckhead,” Tai Tuivasa explained. “Will I fight him? Yes. And will he fight me? I think he would, ‘cause he’s fought everyone and anyone, you know what I mean. He’s one of the greatest to ever do it. I’d love to fight him. … Win you lose I’ll get in there and have a scrap – and if I dink him, I sink him. Just like anyone else.”

Out of action since February 2020, Jones headlined UFC 247 against former two-time title chaser, Dominick Reyes with a close, unanimous decision win in Houston, Texas before officially vacating the undisputed championship in August of that year.

Robert Whittaker weighs up permanent 205 pound move: ‘It will be a more natural weight for me’

Ahead of his UFC Paris return this weekend, former undisputed middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker has once again discussed the possibility of a permanent division climb to 205 pounds to end his career in professional mixed martial arts, despite the prospect of dealing with “tall guys” at the weight limit. Whittaker, the current #1 ranked middleweight […]

Whittaker, the current #1 ranked middleweight contender, is slated to feature for the second time this year as he looks to retain his status as number one contender, as he takes on Trento native and one-time title challenger, Marvin Vettori.

The Otahuhu-born technician headlined UFC 271 in February this year against two-time opponent and common-foe, Israel Adesanya in an undisputed title rematch, suffering his second career loss to the Kiwi-Nigerian in the form of a unanimous decision loss.

Robert Whittaker remains the #1 ranked contender at middleweight

Prior to his defeat to the City Kickboxing mainstay, Adesanya, Whittaker had managed to land a trio of consecutive victories against Darren Till, Jared Cannonier, and Kelvin Gastelum.

However, ahead of his French feature against Vettori on Saturday, Robert Whittaker has once again weighed up the possibility of a move to the light heavyweight limit — as he eyes a more “natural weight” at this stage in his UFC stint.

“I’ve been thinking about 205 (pounds) a fair bit,” Robert Whittaker told Submission Radio during a recent interview. “The problem is, I wouldn’t go to 205 to come back down to 185, just because I don’t want to go to 205 as a fat 185, right? You see a lot of guys try that and they just get starched. And then they come back down. It doesn’t make sense.”

“When I moved up to 185 the first time, there was no way I would never go back down to 170,” Robert Whittaker explained. “I could never. Got to put on muscle, you have to train at that weight. Got to do all of the bits and bobs, then and there. But I’ve been thinking about 205. I think it will be a more natural weight for me, personally, but the height disadvantage is annoying. I don’t know if I would want to deal with that.”

Initially beginning his Octagon tenure at the welterweight limit, Whittaker experienced success in the division, beating Colton Smith, Mike Rhodes, and Brad Scott – while dropping defeats to both Court McGee, and Stephen Thompson.

Beyond two losses to Adesanya at middleweight, Whittaker has racked up a stunning 11 wins at 185lbs, including successes against Yoel Romero, Jacare Souza, Derek Brunson, Uriah Hall, and Brad Tavares.
