Despite having a renowned manager, the details about who manages Marvin Vettori are somewhat unknown
Marvin Vettori will be stepping inside the Octagon this weekend with great hopes. He will be challenging for Israel Adesanya’s middleweight title, in the main event of UFC 263.
The pair have already met once at UFC on Fox: Poirier vs Gaethje in April 2018, back when they were relatively unknown in the UFC. In just 3 years, the pair have become the best middleweights in the UFC.
Vettori who has improved in leaps and bounds since his loss to Adesanya in 2018, hasn’t lost a single fight since then. The number 3 ranked middleweight is on a five-match win streak, and has been marauding his opponents with his impeccable ground game.
It is worth noting that Vettori has never been finished in his entire MMA career.
Despite being at the top of his game for quite a while, not much his known about who the Italian Dream is managed by.
Marvin Vettori is managed by none other than Dominance MMA Management CEO Ali Abdelaziz who manages a legion of renowned fighters and champions like Kamaru Usman, Justin Gaethje, Beneil Dariush and many others.
He was also the manager of Khabib Nurmagomedov until the ‘Eagle’s retirement. And not to forget his ‘another legendary’ client Henry Cejudo.
Due to the high-profile clientele of Abdelaziz, Vettori’s name might have probably been overlooked. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the Italian isn’t a great fighter. He is special, but fighters like Usman, Khabib, Cejudo are legends who have engraved their names in the hall of UFC greatness.
Just like the way he backs his other clients, Abdelaziz never gives up on Vettori. He recently predicted that Vettori would shock the world against Adesanya at UFC 263.
