Prediction for the UFC on ESPN 47 Marvin Vettori vs Jared Cannonier fight which will take place on June 18th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

His strengths are the pressure in the guard and a well–adjusted boxing. He got most victories with techniques but did not always look for a submissive. Depending on the situation, he can roughly control and finish off harshly. He does not break under blows, although he regularly misses – Paulo Costa, Robert Whittaker, and Israel Adesanya definitely hit him (but Marvin has never lost ahead of schedule in his career).

After five consecutive victories, Vettori got the right to fight for the title in 2021 but lost to Adesanya without a chance. After that, he won against Paolo Costa, lost to Robert Whittaker, and defeated Roman Dolidze. The Georgian fighter had the initiative, held the center of the cage, and, according to his feelings, hit harder. However, according to the total number of blows, the Italian probably still had more.

A considerable punch and physical strength distinguish Jared Cannonier. He won many times by knockouts; last year, he fought with the same Adesanya for the belt and lost on points. He is an experienced fighter, and he met in a cage with real mastodons – Glover Teixeira, Jan Błachowicz, Anderson Silva, and Robert Whittaker.

Cannonier had his previous fight in December last year and won against Sean Strickland by a split decision. It is impossible to call that judicial decision a robbery for Strickland, but if the judges had given him the victory, then no one would have been disappointed either.

Jared Cannonier promises total pressure from the first seconds, allowing him to finish his opponent quickly. His attacks will get bogged down in Italian clinches and protection from takedowns, and his strength will decrease considerably.

Vettori is used to extending fights in the late rounds, exhausting competitors, and will not change his tactics. We do not expect his unconditional victory, but still, his success is more likely – Marvin will be better in the fight, and the main task will be not to miss one knockout punch. It does not look impossible.
