Marvin Vettori and Paulo Costa were involved in an entertaining five-round war at UFC Vegas 41 on Saturday night. The ’Italian Dream’ bested ‘Borrachinha’ by unanimous decision, but both men left the Octagon with a few injuries that could put them on the sidelines until next year.
Vettori suffered injuries to both his forearms and right knee, while Costa sustained damage to his right foot and left knee. Both need clearance from an orthopedic doctor to return to competition before April.
