Marvin Vettori takes a dig at Israel Adesanya and Conor Mcgregor after the pair shared some respect building up to UFC 271
Marvin Vettori has fought Israel Adesanya on two different occasions, once at UFC on FOX 29 and most recently at UFC 263. Although he lost both the fights by decision, Izzy still doesn’t have his respect.
Earlier this week, the Nigerian announced that he has signed a new multi-fight contract with the UFC, which will make him the second-highest-paid fighter. McGregor, who is also represented by the same management that works with Adesanya, reacted to this news and showered praises on Izzy.
When asked about his comments, Adesanya said he respects Conor and what he has done for the sport.
Reacting to this display on Twitter, Marvin called both fighters pu*** in a derogatory tweet:
“Nice seeing pussies standing one for another. Great display of feminism.”
Vettori has been severely critical of Adesanya’s fighting style and is working up the ranks to have a third crack at the middleweight champion.
Sean Strickland took to Twitter to claim that most of the UFC fighters never sparred with him
Sean Strickland is becoming more of a ‘Tweleb’ these days. The UFC middleweight who has been doing pretty well on court has upped his social media game as well.
Recently, the number 7 ranked middleweight hit out at UFC fighters who have been hesitant about sparring with him. Besides this, he also named one fighter who went hard during sparring with him.
Strickland named top-ranked UFC middleweight Marvin Vettori.
Here is what he had to say:
“I’m gonna let you guys in on a little secret… A lot of UFC fighters SUCK and usually their kinda pussies who just like to beat up the lower level pros and have a ufc logo on them. Most of them won’t spar me.. @MarvinVettori is the only ufc fighter I train with lmao we go hard!”
