The Octagon returns to Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 75 event, a twelve-bout fight card headlined by Marvin Vettori vs. Jared Cannonier.
Vettori (19-6-1 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since scoring a decision win over Roman Dolidze at March’s UFC 286 event. ‘The Italian Dream’ has gone 3-2 over his past five Octagon appearances, suffering decision losses to Robert Whittaker and Israel Adesanya during that stretch.
Meanwhile, Jared Cannonier (16-6 MMA) has also gone 3-2 over his last five fights. ‘The Killa Gorilla’ is coming off a split decision victory over Sean Strickland in his most recent effort this past December.
UFC Vegas 75 is co-headlined by a lightweight bout featuring Arman Tsarukyan taking on Joaquim Silva.
Tsarukyan (19-3 MMA) has gone 6-2 since joining the UFC ranks in April of 2019. The Armenian-Russian picked up a decision win over Damir Ismagulov in his latest Octagon appearance in December of last year.
Meanwhile, Joaquim Silva (12-4 MMA) was last seen in action in October of 2022, where he picked up a performance bonus for his second-round TKO victory over Jesse Ronson. The 34-year-old has gone 2-3 over his past five fights overall.
