Vera believes the fight with Yang should be a contender's fight

Alexandr Ormanji May 15, 2024, 6:54 a.m.

Marlon Vera, a fighter in the UFC's lightweight division, has spoken out about his bout with Peter Yan. "Cheeto" believes this fight should carry challenger status.

"No question, it's an interesting fight for the fans, for the UFC - it's a former champion against a former title challenger, and the winner should get a title shot. It's a big fight that a win would make a loud statement. He said he wants that fight, too. After the UFC 299 tournament, he said he wanted to fight me, and I said, 'What are you talking about? You turned me down twice.' He started making excuses like, 'It wasn't the right time for me,' and I was like, 'Well then shut the f*** up' When I fought Cruz, the original plan was to fight Peter Yan that day."
