In the main event of UFC Vegas 16, Marvin Vettori stepped up on short notice to take on top-five contender, Jack Hermansson.<\/p>\n

Vettori was looking for the biggest win of his career while Hermansson was trying to prove he should get a number one contender bout next time out. However, it was the Italian who won the fight by decision and nearly finished Hermansson in the first.<\/p>\n

Now, following the event, here is what I think should be next for Marvin Vettori and Jack Hermansson.<\/p>\n

Marvin Vettori<\/h3>\n

Marvin Vettori has been telling everyone who would listen he is a top middleweight contender<\/a> and he proved that on Saturday night. For the longest time, the Italian has had a hard time getting ranked guys but that will all change now.<\/p>\n

Following his win, he called out Paulo Costa but backtracked on it as instead, he thinks he deserves a rematch against Israel Adesanya<\/a>. However, with the champ set to fight Jan Blachwoicz, is it unlikely Vettori will get the rematch. So, instead, a fight against Robert Whittaker for the number one contender should happen.<\/p>\n

Whittaker has said he doesn’t want to fight again until March which is when many believe the Adesanya-Blachowicz fight will happen. So, on the same card, the UFC<\/a> should book Whittaker vs. Vettori where the winner gets the next crack at the middleweight title, and being on the same card, the timelines also match up.<\/p>\n

Jack Hemansson<\/h3>\n

Jack Hermansson took a risk in taking a fight against Marvin Vettori and it didn’t pay off. Now, following the loss, the Swede will need to take a step back in competition and look to build himself back up.<\/p>\n

A logical next fight is against the guy he was supposed to fight on Saturday and that is Darren Till<\/a>. Hermansson and Till are both coming off losses but a win for either man puts them back in the driver’s seat for a contender fight. The loser, meanwhile, will likely have to fight someone ranked in the 10-15 range to prove they belong in the top-10. Hermansson vs. Till can also headline a fight night card on Fight Island in 2021.<\/p>\n
