Who won the Adesanya vs. Vettori rematch? Find out below!
Middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, looks to return to a familiar place, the win column, tonight (Sat., June 12, 2021) against a familiar opponent, Marvin Vettori, in the pay-per-view (PPV) main event of UFC 263, which takes before a full crowd inside Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
“Last Stylebender” — who failed to lift the Light Heavyweight belt off Jan Blachowicz earlier this year — defeated “Italian Dream” via split decision back in 2018 (watch it). And Vettori has been undefeated ever since, besting Jack Hermansson and Kevin Holland, among others, to climb back into the title chase and earn a rematch.

Round one:
Unsurprisingly, there was no glove touch between the two sworn enemies. Marvin came out looking to push the pace and get the fight on his terms (the ground), while Adesanya chipped away at the legs and circled the cage. Adesanya went to the well one too many times early and Marvin caught a low kick and scored a quick takedown. He butt scooted to the cage and threw up a triangle that he turned into and escape. Back on their feet, Marvin tried to get him back to the ground, but Adesanya was able to slip out and get back to his feet. Marvin pumped jabs, but Adesanya’s head was already in another location by the time the shots arrived. Marvin tried to trap him along the cage, but Adesanya was able to dip and move, exiting out of danger and going to work with his kicks. He seemed to hurt Marvin, but the Italian put on a solid poker face and kept up the pressure. Adesanya ended the round with a solid shovel hook, but the takedown and control could mean that Marvin is up 1-0 on the judges scorecards.
