It was surely one of the strangest fight weeks in recent memory as Paulo Costa vs. Marvin Vettori’s fight slowly moved away from middleweight and ended up in the light heavyweight division for UFC Vegas 41’s main event.
Costa found himself down a point in the second round after poking Vettori in the eye, and after five nonstop rounds, Marvin Vettori found himself on the right side of the decision.
Here’s what fighters had to say about the UFC Vegas 41 main card.

Vettori is thought though.

Great performance for both of them!#UFCVegas41
My Opinion @MarvinVettori Can Stay at Light Heavyweight and Go For The Strap There Izzy Got Yo Number G #UFCVegas41

Thanks for that fight guys. That was close every round and neither of them gassed out 20+ lbs heavier than normal. One of the best of the year #UFCVegas41

Vettori can take shots man

What a fight! Not happy with how he ended that 5th RD, but Vettori has nothing to hang his head about. That was a great performance from both men. Makes you wonder what this looks like at 185 lb, like it was intended to be. #UFCVegas41

Chois performance was great, but Caceres was just better and his jiu jitsu is top notch #UFCVegas41

fight fans from the couch always know better. I’m glad Caceres wasn’t severely compromised after that illegal knee. 5 in a row! Putting the division on notice that he’s still game for greatness! #UFCVegas41
