UFC star Marvin Vettori has discussed his motivation for fighting in the wake of his brother’s passing.
On Saturday night at UFC 318, Marvin Vettori will lock horns with Brendan Allen as he attempts to rebound from three defeats in his last four fights. Of course, there’s a much bigger story here, with the Italian sensation competing for the first time since the death of his brother Patrick.
As you can imagine, some questioned whether or not Marvin Vettori would ever fight again after such a devastating loss. Alas, the 31-year-old is ready to get back in there and prove himself, and in doing so, he wants to honor his brother in the best way he can.
