Vettori vs Cannonier Prediction

Marvin Vettori and Jared Cannonier each failed to take down Israel Adesanya for the middleweight belt, but have since rebounded with great outings. Vettori defeated Roman Dalidze via unanimous decision on March 18 and Cannonier took down Sean Strickland via split decision back in December.

Each fighter is similar in the sense that they average over 4.0 significant strikes landed per minute and own a strike defense rate of at least 59%. Where Vettori and Cannonier differ is on the ground. Vettori has built a reputation as a great wrestler and has tallied 9 submission victories in his career.

On the other side, Cannonier only averages 0.17 takedowns per 15 minutes at a 25% accuracy rate. Those marks pail in comparison to Vettori's stats of 1.77 takedowns at a 44% accuracy rate. Look for this fight to be even early on before Vettori makes his presence felt with a couple of late takedowns.

Winner: Marvin Vettori

Vettori vs Cannonier Best Bet

Backing Vettori on the moneyline is tempting here, but instead, I think backing the fight to go the distance is a better option. After all, Vettori's strength lies in his ground game and Cannonier has never lost via submission. Cannonier's strength lies in his strong jabs and Vettori has never lost via knockout. 10 of the last 12 fights involving either one of these UFC pros have gone the distance.

Bet: Fight to Go the Distance (TBD)
