I'll be honest with y'all, Vettori is definitely a very solid fighter, but not particularly a spectacular one.

It's a bad matchup on paper for KH, but there is something I see in him that leads me to believe that he can pull this off. I think the Brunson fight might be a poor measure of what he can actually bring to the table. He played up his "big mouth" character too much and did not perform to his standard. A bad day at the office; nothing more, nothing less.

I think if he can keep the fight at striking distance, he wins. If I were a betting man, I would pick him to win. I think he can be the first person to finish Vettori.

These Venum fight shorts look like shyttier versions of the most recent Reebok kits.

Just awful. It’s basically the same shyt except it’s got snake designs. Who the fukk even wears these mid 2000s dude bro apparel anyway? What’s up with that lawsuit? These fighters need help badly

The thing is even with the poor ass TDD, his striking and overall footwork is sloppy. He was constantly tripping and falling right into TD against Brunson. Dude has no process at all. Vettori if nothing else is consistent, massive for MW, and extremely durable. Gave Izzy his toughest fight outside KG. I don’t see any path for Holland especially on short notice
