He was inspired to train mixed martial arts after watching fighters such as Fedor Emelianenko in PRIDE on television when he was sixteen.

He moved to London in 2012 for two years to train MMA and later moved to the United States to train at Kings MMA.

Vettori trains six days per week and his typical training day would split into two sessions, one in the morning and one in the evening.

The second session would be in the evening to work on either conditioning or BJJ training which usually would end at 10 p.m.
