The Italian fighter has fought middleweight champion Israel Adesanya twice, with his second loss to the New Zealander coming at UFC 263 when he challenged for the title. During the build-up to his rematch with Adesanya, Vettori was photographed by the UFC for a routine promotional photoshoot. During the shoot, the Italian and the camera crew failed to notice he was wearing his Venum gear backwards, resulting in some hilarious trash-talk from the New Zealander and from fans.

Anthony Smith believes Marvin Vettori will be a tough test for Robert Whittaker UFC light heavyweight Anthony Smith has weighed in on the upcoming middleweight bout between Marvin Vettori and Robert Whittaker. The UFC Paris bout will pit the No.1 and No.2-ranked middleweights against each other with a win likely to put either fighter back in title contention. Both fighters have lost to current champion Israel Adesanya twice and may well be hoping that a win will set them up for a trilogy bout. Speaking about the upcoming middleweight clash on the Believe You Me podcast, 'Lionheart' stated that Marvin Vettori is a problem that Whittaker needs to take seriously: "He's f**king good. [Marvin Vetttori's] really good. I mean, he shut down Costa, he's beating everybody else... and he's beating people kind of at their own games. Even Jack Hermansson fight... like outgrapple Jack Hermansson, which I thought was phenomenal and hard to do. I mean that's the same guy that outgrappled Jacare [Ronaldo Souza]." Smith added: "I think a lot of people are kind of just looking over Vettori like, oh okay, well, Whittaker is always gonna win against anybody in the division if it's not Israel Adesanya... and I don't think it's that simple this weekend. I think Robert Whittaker got a little uphill battle to be fair."
