Vettori is a former title challenger who took Israel Adesanya the distance twice, known for relentless pressure and a chin that has never been cracked — all ten career losses are decisions. Now on a three-fight skid, all by unanimous decision, he finally returns after a broken rib scrapped a scheduled June 2026 meeting with this same opponent, Ismail Naurdiev.
