Former UFC lightweight title challenger Marlon Vera said he plans to fight former division champion Peter Yan in November.
"I want to fight in November at Madison Square Garden, I would like to do it with Petr Yan. The winner has to wait for the title fight.
He's said no before. We saw each other the last time I fought and he said: "Hey, I want you to be next." What's he talking about if he turned it down twice?" - said the Ecuadorian in an interview with Cameron Haynes' YouTube channel.
Recall that Vera last appeared in the octagon on March 9 at UFC 299, losing by unanimous decision to champion Sean O'Malley.
