Statement win in main event war
Cannonier defeated Marvin Vettori via unanimous decision (49-45, 49-45, 48-46) at UFC on ESPN 47 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was the best version of Cannonier we have seen in quite some time. He found himself in a hairy situation moments after the opening bell rang, but once he fought his way through that, it was smooth sailing. Displaying excellent cardio through out the course of the bout, Cannonier floored the gas pedal in pressuring Vettori virtually the entire fight. His 257 total strikes landed are the most in UFC middleweight history. Jared picked his spots and varied his attacks, both of which helped him massively when Vettori attempted to make some sort of comeback. To give you an idea how big of a victory this is for Jared, Vettori had lost three times dating back to April 2018. Those defeats came against a current and former UFC Middleweight Champion, Israel Adesanya (twice) and Robert Whittaker. The 39-year-old Cannonnier is again right in the thick of the title picture following this effort. He'll also take home a $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus here.

Gets headline bout versus Vettori
Cannonier will fight Marvin Vettori at the UFC Vegas 75 on June 17, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Cannonier will enter the Octagon for the first time since December after he defeated Sean Strickland via split decision. The 37-year-old should have a reasonable case at a title rematch against Israel Adesanya should he come out on top against Vettori.

Closes 2022 with split decision win
Cannonier defeated Sean Strickland via split decision (49-46, 46-49, 49-46) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
To give you an idea how tight this fight was, all three judges didn't agree on even a single one of the five rounds. The craziest thing of all was that it was perfectly understandable. It was Cannonier that likely landed the biggest shots of the fight, but Strickland consistently worked behind his jab and landed combinations. While Sean only targeted Jared's head, Cannonier threw plenty of leg kicks and ripped the body when available. Jared gave off this impression of being the more aggressive fighter, but that was to be expected considering Strickland always sits back and attempts to counter his opposition. In a bout that could have legitimately gone either way, it was Cannonier that was delivered an early Christmas present. Jared is 6-2 in his past eight fights dating back to November 2018, with the lone setbacks coming against the best the division has to offer in Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker.
