The Italian Dream, Marvin Vettori, has called out EA Sports for snubbing him from the UFC 4 roster
Marvin Vettori is coming off the biggest win in his UFC career. The Italian Dream took on then #4 ranked UFC Middleweight Jack Hermansson in the previous event.
Vettori and Hermansson put on quite a show and even got a bonus for the performance. It was the Italian who got the win and called out Paulo Costa too.
However, Vettori isn’t happy with a couple of aspects at the moment. He had called out EA Sports for not including him into the UFC 4 roster.
This was a couple of months back and he was again at the throats of the game giants for not updating their roster.
UFC 4 has seen many patches and updates with stars such as Megan Anderson, Brock Lesnar and Khamzat Chimaev being added but that was not the only thing that upset Vettori.
While Robert Whittaker and Paulo Costa remained one and two, respectively, in the standings. Vettori wasn’t happy with one ranking.
Darren Till was to fight recently but the British star has been inactive due to an injury. However, Till still moved up a couple of spots into fourth place.
Vettori couldn’t believe such a move took place in the rankings and called out the UFC too. However, he should be happy with the progress after the win over Hermansson.
The Italian is now ranked #5 in the division, just above Hermansson, and it will be interesting to see if Costa will accept the call out.
The Brazilian hasn’t fought since being outclassed by the champion, Israel Adesanya, but this clash could be one of the best battles in 2021.
