Israel Adesanya vs. Martin Vettori: A Head-to-Toe Breakdown

UFC 263 goes down this Saturday inside the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona, and the card is topped by a dynamite middleweight title fight between champion Israel Adesanya and challenger Marvin Vettori.

This will mark the second time the pair of world-class middleweights have collided under the UFC banner. They first met back in 2018—coincidentally, in the exact same arena—in Adesanya's second bout in the Octagon and Vettori's fifth. Adesanya won that fight by split decision, though Vettori did not agree with that result.

Heading into UFC 263, both Adesanya and Vettori are far better versions of the fighters they were when they first met.
