UFC Fight Night will see two top middleweights square off, looking to gain momentum in the division. Who will come out on top? Covers_Ro breaks down this clash between two top-5 fighters in their weight class.
Cannonier is a very powerful striker but he doesn't push the pace, and Vettori's pressure could pose problems for his style — especially if he utilizes his grappling advantage.
Sure Cannonier is extremely strong and has displayed excellent takedown defense at 185, but Vettori doesn't need to take him down. He just has to stall Cannonier against the fence or get him in a clinch position to sap his cardio and power — things he's more than capable of doing. One thing we saw in Cannonier's fight against Strickland was that while he appeared to land the more powerful shots, Strickland wasn't phased. But Strickland managed to get big reactions out of Cannonier when he tagged him.
That could factor into this one as well since Vettori has an iron chin. And while he isn't particularly heavy handed, he throws with plenty of volume. If Vettori can eat Cannonier's best shots without blinking and then get big reactions while throwing with higher output, the judges will likely side with him.
