Report: Marvin Vettori to rematch Omari Akmedov at UFC 256 in December

Marvin Vettori’s frustration over being unable to find an opponent has come to an end, as the Italian is scheduled to rematch Omari Akhmedov at UFC 256.

MMA Junkie first reported the news, but the UFC is yet to confirm the matchup. Vettori and Akhmedov first met in December 2017 when the two fought to a majority draw at UFC 219.

Vettori (15-4-1) hasn’t lost a fight since dropping a split decision to current middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in 2018. The 27-year-old had a successful 2019 winning decisions against Cesar Ferreira and Andrew Sanchez.
