After defeating Paulo borrachinha in the main fight of UFC Las Vegas 41, Marvin vettori decided not to put an end to the rivalry with the Brazilian. After the confrontation marked by controversy over weight cutting by the Minas Gerais native, the Italian admitted that he had plans to present his opponent with a bottle of wine, but gave up on the idea.

“Here is a wine from my beautiful 'home', Mezzocorona. I was going to give it to Costa (Borrachinha), but fuck him. He does not deserve. So, I’m going to drink it myself,” said Marvin, in a video published on Instagram.
The gift, which ended up becoming a provocation, refers to another controversy involving Paulo. After the miner's defeat to Israel adesanya, in September 2020, the Tupiniquim admitted to having drunk wine before the confrontation, to put an end to supposed insomnia.
For the fight against Paulo, Marvin needed to adapt to the conditions suggested in the duel, as the Minas Gerais native admitted, at the beginning of last week, that he would not be able to reach the middleweight limit (up to 83,9kg). With the initial agreement broken, the confrontation ended up taking place in the light heavyweight division (up to 93kg).
In the fight, better for the Italian. Despite an aggressive performance from the Brazilian, Vettori managed to stand out and emerged victorious in the judges' unanimous decision.
