LAS VEGAS – Former UFC title challenger Marvin Vettori returns to the octagon this Saturday after almost two years away from competition.
The last time Vettori (19-7-1 MMA, 9-5-1 UFC) was seen in the cage was back in June 2023 when he lost a unanimous decision to fellow veteran Jared Cannonier. Since that bout, a lot has changed for “The Italian Dream.” For starters, Vettori moved from Las Vegas to South Florida to train at American Top Team in Coconut Creek – which was a much-needed change for his career.
“I changed gyms because I felt I had to do something different – so yeah, I’m definitely not the same,” Vettori said at Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 254 media day. “I found a home at ATT, and I’m happy that I’m representing them for the first time this time around. I’ve been there for a while, and it’s amazing, to be honest. A lot of growth. I’m going to show it. Talk is talk at the end of the day.”
