Jared Cannonier made a furious comeback, defeating Marvin Vettori and earning a unanimous decision victory.

His recent fights were not as impressive, with a split decision win against Sean Strickland and a lackluster performance against Israel Adesanya.

Israel Adesanya and fellow contender Robert Whittaker expressed surprise at Cannonier's aggressive approach.

Cannonier desires a title chance, but his previous fight with Adesanya may make it difficult.

Additional exceptional performances like the one against Vettori could change opinions and open doors for title opportunities.
