“He tried to be smart” – Marvin Vettori addresses beef with ‘Stanford PhD professor’ Paul Felder; slams his ‘biased’ commentary during Nasrat Haqparast vs. Dan Hooker 

Marvin Vettori continued his war of words with Paul Felder after what transpired during UFC 266 in September.

The former lightweight star was on commentary duty alongside Jon Anik and Daniel Cormier at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas last month. The No.5-ranked middleweight contender called out the recently retired fighter on Twitter and termed him the “worst to ever do it.” According to the Italian, Felder was biased during the Dan Hooker vs. Nasrat Haqparast encounter.

‘The Irish Dragon’ hit back by asking if he was using “too many big words” and questioning Marvin Vettori’s intelligence. In a recent edition of the MMA Uncensored live show, Vettori slammed Felder for acting as if he’s a “Stanford PhD professor.”

“I didn’t even mention my fight. It is what it is. You know a lot of times, medias are just gonna be medias you know. I should be more fine with it and just play the game. But sometimes I cannot keep my mouth shut, especially when I see it happening to somebody else. It was the Nasrat against Hooker fight. Paul Felder talks to every fighter because every time somebody comments they’ll talk to the fighters before. So he knows what goes on. Yeah, Nasrat lost, but I just felt like it was very biased. I’ve been there before and I don’t like that. And then when I called him out, he tried to be smart. Like he’s some Stanford PhD professor or some s**t like that.”
