‘Shut the F**k Up’- Israel Adesanya and Marvin Vettori Get Into Verbal Altercation During Interview

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, and challenger Marvin Vettori, engaged in an explosive interview that was aired during the UFC Vegas 28 broadcast. Chiefly, both men were fired up, to say the least, and Michael Bisping did his best to moderate the contentious interaction.

‘The Last Stylebender’ led the dance from the get-go and launched a verbal assault on Vettori. He vowed to finish off the number three ranked contender and firmly establish that their close contest of 2018 was an anomaly. However, Marvin Vettori believes he had done enough to win the first fight and is confident he can close out the show in the rematch.

“I’m going to finish the job. You’re going to have zero hopes. You’re going to have no hope. After this fight… Shut the f**k up and listen, if you hear you might actually learn something. I’m going to give you zero hopes cause when the fights done, you’re going to look at me and know that I am better than you.”

Vettori responded with a rather pointed ‘please try’ to Adesanya’s comments and was met with further resistance from the champ.

“I don’t try, I do bi*ch. Oh, trust me, I will. All you did in your last fight was beat a bum that you laid on.”
