Marlon “Chito” Vera was in attendance for Cory Sandhagen’s victory over Song Yadong<\/a> at UFC Vegas 60 and he has responded to a callout.<\/p>\n

Sandhagen and Yadong went one-on-one inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 17. A slicing elbow through the eyebrow of Yadong caused a nasty cut that would eventually decide the fight before the fifth round could begin. The doctor called the fight off after observing the cut, and Sandhagen was awarded the fourth-round TKO<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the fight, Sandhagen called for a showdown with either Vera or Merab Dvalishvili. The UFC had cameras rolling<\/a> on Vera after the fight and he made it clear that he’s more than willing to accept Sandhagen’s challenge.<\/p>\n

“Well, if he wants it, he can get it,” Vera said. “I’m not shying away from any fight. I’m a fighter, I’ll fight anybody. I wanna be a world champion. If I wanna get there and get the belt, I don’t run away from no one.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Vera also gave his take on Sandhagen’s performance and he was complimentary.<\/p>\n

“It was a fun fight,” Vera said. “I’m impressed by anybody. That’s how I push myself. Everybody in the UFC’s a hard fight. Anybody can win at this level. Like Mac Miller said, ‘I don’t f*cking trip.’ I’m ready to go.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“Chito” is actually one spot below Sandhagen on the official UFC bantamweight rankings. Vera is ranked at number five, while Sandhagen is the number four-ranked UFC bantamweight.<\/p>\n

Vera is coming off a stellar head kick knockout victory over Dominick Cruz. He is riding a four-fight winning streak and hasn’t been defeated since December 2020, when he lost to Jose Aldo via unanimous decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
