UFC middleweight Marvin Vettori issued a statement following his unanimous decision loss to champion Israel Adesanya at UFC 263.<\/p>\n

Vettori was confident he had the skillset to beat Adesanya in a rematch after they fought to a split decision three years ago, but the champion proved why he’s the best middleweight in the world with a clear unanimous decision victory.<\/p>\n

Although Vettori was able to land several takedowns in the fight, he wasn’t able to control Adesanya on the ground, and he also lost the striking battle on the feet, which led to the judges unanimously going against him. Vettori showed a lot of heart and toughness, but he just wasn’t at the champ’s level.<\/p>\n

Taking to his social media<\/a> following the loss to Adesanya at UFC 263, Vettori issued a statement about his latest defeat. Take a look at what “The Italian Dream” wrote.<\/p>\n
