Vera called his best defeat of his career

UFC flyweight title challengerMarlon Vera recalled his loss in his bout with Jose Aldo.

"Losing like that really hurts. After the fight, it was like I was in darkness. I was hard on myself. It was depressing. I made the biggest mistake of my life, but it was also the best mistake of my life because losing to Aldo taught me a lot. I realize that now. That's why you saw my career the way it became. Because I set the attitude for myself, "You always have to be careful in everything." This defeat, I would say, was the best defeat of my career. Why not learn valuable lessons from this fight, especially when you are beaten by a legend like Jose Aldo?".

As a reminder, Vera lost to Aldo by unanimous judges' decision in December 2020.
